Keystone Fight Continues as Obama Administration Touts Need for Energy Policy

Stefanie Penn Spear | Posted 03.24.2012

Stefanie Penn Spear

With the decision to deny the pipeline permit, it was fitting that Secretary of Energy Steven Chu spoke of Obama's plan to reduce oil imports by one-third by 2025, modernize the electric grid, support fuel-efficient vehicles, and invest in renewable energy and energy efficiency.

Big Oil Bullies and a Test of Wills

Michael Brune | Posted 03.17.2012

Michael Brune

Any Keystone XL permit issued now would be a blank check written to an oil company with a proven record of disregarding the rights of the American farmers and ranchers whose land the pipeline would cross and threaten.
