Nebraska regulators approve Keystone XL pipeline route: panel vote

LINCOLN, Nebraska (Reuters) – Nebraska regulators voted their approval on Monday for TransCanada Corp’s (TO:) Keystone XL pipeline route through the state, lifting the last big regulatory obstacle for the long-delayed project that U.S. President Donald Trump wants built.

The 3-2 decision by the Nebraska Public Service Commission helps clear the way for the proposed 1,179-mile (1,897-km) pipeline linking Canada’s Alberta oil sands to U.S. refineries, but is likely to be challenged in court by the project’s opponents who say it poses an environmental risk.
