In December, Congressional Republicans forced President Obama to make a decision within 60 days on whether to approve or reject Canada’s offer to build the Keystone XL pipeline all the way through the U.S. and down to the Gulf of Mexico. The Obama administration claims that three years has not been enough time to fully evaluate the environmental impact of the project. Nebraska Rep. Lee Terry says that is “political bull” and explains why that excuse from Obama runs contrary to recent statements from the State Department. Rep. Terry discusses the ecological issues involved with the pipeline and has some more choice comments for pipeline critics who claim the resources in the pipeline would end up in China anyway.
