Despite Keystone Setbacks, Canadian Oil Sands Continues to Thrive, a "Navigating the Currents of Change" Webcast on Industrialinfo.com - Sunday, February 05, 2012

The news of the denial was definitely a shock, especially as the administration had several weeks remaining to continue to evaluate the plans. In this case, politics may have superseded the best interest of the American people. The permit was not denied because of the merits of the project, but because Congress had attempted to strongarm the president to make a decision on the project with legislation inserted into the payroll tax bill.
