Nebraska rejects motion to change Keystone pipeline route, project in doubt
 [Wash Times] The Keystone XL oil pipeline suffered yet another setback Tuesday as Nebraska regulators rejected calls to reconsider the project’s route through their state.In a unanimous 5-to-0 decision, Nebraska’s Public Service Commission (PSC) shot down a request from TransCanada, the company proposing the $8 billion project, to change the pipeline’s approved path. The PSC last month green-lighted a route through Nebraska but not the one TransCanada preferred, fueling speculation the company could pull the plug on the entire proposal. TransCanada filed formal motions asking the PSC to amend its permit and approve its preferred route, but Nebraska officials refused. "The commission finds the motion for reconsideration should be denied," the panel wrote in its decision. The move seems to end the approval process in the state and leaves TransCanada with a decision of whether to scrap the project or move forward with the less-than-favorable path.
