Groups battle on Keystone XL pipeline

This story was filed on

Green groups said the pipeline’s projected greenhouse gas emissions have been underreported, and that the Keystone project would greatly expand oil sands production.

And a coalition of oil companies and groups representing energy consuming industries, such as trucking and chemical manufacturing, said the pipeline would pump $1.8 billion into Nebraska’s economy between this year and 2029.
