President Trump issued a new presidential permit Friday to build
a long-delayed pipeline project that would take oil from Canada's
oil sands to Nebraska, a bid to avoid additional environmental
reviews.
The reissuance of a permit for the Keystone XL pipeline comes
after a federal judge in November blocked the project from moving
forward until a supplemental environmental review was completed.

Keystone XL, an expansion of the existing Keystone pipeline
system, would begin in Hardisty, Alberta, and extend south to
Steele City, Neb., linking to existing pipelines to Gulf Coast
refineries.
"President Trump has been clear that he wants to create jobs and
advance U.S. energy security and the Keystone XL pipeline does both
of those things," TransCanada Corp. Chief Executive Russ Girling
said in a statement.
"The Keystone XL pipeline has been studied more than any other
pipeline in history and the environmental reviews are clear -- the
project can be built and operated in an environmentally sustainable
and responsible way, " Mr. Girling said.
TransCanada first applied for a permit in September 2008, but
the project has faced setbacks amid opposition from landowners and
environmentalists.
The Trump administration has been working to revive the Keystone
XL project after former President Barack Obama blocked it from
moving forward. In March 2017, the U.S. State Department issued a
permit to TransCanada to build the pipeline.
