More Senior US Rejection Of Keystone

Here is an additional key statement concerning Keystone's rejection by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry.  It  appears as if he is the key decision maker.

Consider as well that a decision about rejecting a multi-billion dollar investment in Canada re building a "Government" bridge would be very similar in its logic.  That's why only a second border crossing to be paid for by the Ambassador Bridge Company is all we need and why we need it now:

"After a thorough review of the record, including extensive analysis conducted by the State Department, I have determined that the national interest of the United States would be best served by denying TransCanada a presidential permit for the Keystone XL pipeline. President Obama agrees with this determination and the eight federal agencies consulted under Executive Order 13337 have accepted it.

Executive Order 13337 delegates to the Secretary of State the President’s authority to issue or deny Presidential Permits like the one sought for the proposed Keystone XL pipeline. In reaching my decision, I evaluated information provided by TransCanada, the Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement, the views of other federal agencies and nearly five million public comments...

Our analysis makes it clear that the Keystone XL pipeline would not be the economic driver it is heralded to be...

As Secretary of State, I fully recognize the importance of this project to Canada, one of our closest strategic allies and energy trading partners. We consulted with our Canadian friends and I spoke with Foreign Minister Dion today regarding this decision. While we understand the impact of this decision on Canada, I am confident that our close and long-standing relationship with Canada will continue to grow stronger in the years ahead."
