Keystone XL start welcomed by Obama - Darren Goode - POLITICO.com



Keystone XL start welcomed by Obama - Darren Goode - POLITICO.com: "President Barack Obama "welcomes" the news that TransCanada will start building the southern portion of the Keystone XL pipeline, even as the White House continues to take shots for not approving the entire 1,700-mile route.

The rapid response from White House spokesman Jay Carney underscores the political sensitivity of the proposed pipeline and Obama's balancing act. The White House is trying not to anger its liberal base by approving the pipeline, but at the same time is publicly saying TransCanada should keep working on an alternative route through Nebraska."
