The Nebraska Supreme Court has ruled that construction is Constitutional through the state in case of the Keystone XL Pipeline project. The Senate Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell (R-KY), is now all set to host a high profile, drawn out debate over this pipeline issue.

Randy Thompson, a Nebraska landowner and lead plaintiff in the court case against Keystone XL said, "It's time for the president to put an end to this damn thing".

On Friday, for the tenth time in three and a half years, the House-passed legislation approved the pipeline's construction. This Keystone Pipeline bill is expected to pass the Senate but not the president's Obama's desk as he is the lone obstacle to the development of the most advanced pipeline on the planet. Its approval will create tens of thousands of jobs with its construction. In the long run, it will also help the country gain independent from Middle Eastern oil.

Till now, all the objections to Keystone have come from the far-left flank of the president's party. There are the people who believe that we should sever our reliance on fossil fuels. Though the intensions of these people may be admirable, the notion that federal energy policy should be based on these ideas is dangerous.
