#KeystoneXL Review Leaves Door Open for Obama Rejection, or Approval @jackcushmanjr reports on State Dept's #EIS: http://t.co/a5pGJ0LI1h
Media that's automatically reporting that the review doesn't raise environmental concerns or paves the way for approval is getting it wrong.
EIS report paves way for Sec. Kerry and Pres. Obama to DENY pipeline http://t.co/8fi2uK4qL4 huge huge shift in our favor!!
Environmentalists seem to be reading report on Keystone XL pipeline differently from State Dept; they say it vindicates their climate claims
Looks like final #KXL EIS will come without a broad, headline finding on enviro impact - hard to see this as anything but win for enviros.
The extra CO2 in the dirtier fuel shipped thru #KXL "is estimated to be 1.3 to 27.4 MMTCO2e annually. (Call it a billon tons over lifetime.)
State Dept admits KXL is a climate disaster in a scenario where we're trying to slow climate change. That's…what we've been saying
Adding #KXL will be like 37 mil new cars on the road - that's not "insignificant" #nokxl http://t.co/VCkERwbXJJ
Read the #KXL doc folks: For the first time, State Department acknowledges that the project could accelerate climate change.
