Senate Poised to Debate Keystone XL Pipeline, Other Key Energy Issues

Senate Poised to Debate Keystone XL Pipeline, Other Key Energy Issues

By Joshua Andrews, Michael Bolton, Andrew Ehrlich, Andrew Wheeler | Faegre Baker Daniels
House Votes On Full Passage Of Keystone Pipeline
In the wake of the U.S. House of Representatives’ passage of legislation to approve the long-stalled Keystone XL pipeline, the Senate now stands poised to take up the measure beginning this week, opening the door to other key energy issues. Legislation similar to the House-passed measure was recently approved by the Senate Energy & Natural Resources Committee and has the necessary support to avoid a filibuster. The Keystone legislation has drawn a veto threat from the President; however, a number of Democrats are expected to support the measure, so a veto-proof majority is at least possible on the bill.http://breakingenergy.com/2015/01/15/senate-poised-to-debate-keystone-xl-pipeline-other-key-energy-issues/?utm_source=Breaking+Energy&utm_campaign=3e00d58019-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f852427a4b-3e00d58019-407304281
