Obama Admin Announces Further Delay for Pipeline Project

Tar sands oil is transported through pipelines as diluted bitumen, a mixture of bitumen (raw tar sands) and light natural gas liquids or other volatile petroleum products. Spills from pipelines transporting diluted bitumen, conventional oil, and other hazardous liquids happen frequently. Between 2002 and 2011, there were more than 3,700 pipeline spills in the U.S. (Credit: Cornell) Click to enlarge.
The Obama administration today delayed a final decision on the Keystone XL pipeline until an ongoing court challenge to its route in Nebraska is resolved, all but guaranteeing that the controversial project will remain in limbo until after the November midterm elections.
