Refusing Canadian pipeline means U.S. will depend more on undependable crude oil sources

Building a pipeline to help Canada export oil abroad was never in U.S. interest

President Obama's rejection of Keystone XL was the correct choice for U.S. long term interests given the facts, not the political bluster

Do you approve of President Obama's decision to reject the 1,179-mile Keystone XL oil pipeline proposed to run between Canada and the Gulf Coast?

What would you stand for if you ran for president? You may not have such an ambition but when we vote next year you and I should vote for candidates who are representative of our views. Here is what I would look for in a candidate.

We asked friend of City Paper Terence Hannum (who was, full disclosure, part of City Paper's "Blade Runner" discussion at the Windup Space last year), member of Locrian along with André Foisy and Steven Hess (and also one-half of the duo The Holy Circle, and an assistant professor of art at Stevenson University), to break down the doom minimalist trio's latest record, "Infinite Dissolution." Locrian plays the Metro Gallery on Sept. 10 with Barbelith, Birth (Defects), and Curse.

Mr. Obama seems intent on keeping Canada under his veto pen and America dependent on Middle Eastern oil, says Rachel Marsden.

We can no longer afford to ignore our nation's energy infrastructure needs. While we derive clear benefits from producing needed fuel here at home, those benefits will not be fully realized until we build out the network needed to deliver product throughout the country.

Former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley called Thursday for ending the nation's reliance on fossil fuels by 2050 and doubling energy efficiency within 15 years -- making the environment the focus of one of his presidential campaign's first major policy rollouts.

Keystone will end U.S. dependence on Mideast oil

With the Republicans now in control of both houses of Congress, President Obama has finally invoked his weapon of last resort against being run over by them, by vetoing the Keystone XL pipeline bill.

Help for suicidal veterans, insurance against terrorist attacks and 2015 tax policy the last casualties of a dysfunctional Congress

November has been a good-news/bad-news month for the climate struggle. The U.S. and China just inked an historic agreement to limit greenhouse gas emissions, but that accord is imperiled by the American electorate.

The current lame duck session of Congress, which ends on Jan. 3 and includes senators and representatives defeated on Nov. 4, began with the same old partisanship that characterized the last few years in Washington, as the Senate rejected the Keystone XL pipeline construction bill by a single vote.

Controversial Canadian pipeline projects fails by one vote but won't go away any time soon

John Delaney claims to support natural gas but falls short on actual energy policies

In the context of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and a still stagnant economy, President Obama faces two important questions on energy transmission: a decision on the construction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline and the question of increasing American natural gas exports. These are choices that will resonate from Crimea to Cove Point. In my judgment, the president should reject Keystone and step up natural gas exports.

House Republicans' hearts don't seem to be in another debt ceiling fight.
