Groups battle on Keystone XL pipeline
Detractors and backers of the Keystone XL oil sands pipeline released separate reports Thursday designed to cement public support for their respective sides.
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.
