LINCOLN, Neb.— The developer of the Keystone XL pipeline has identified a new corridor through Nebraska that avoids the environmentally sensitive Sandhills, but a spokesman says the company won’t yet release its proposal.

TransCanada spokesman Shawn Howard told The Associated Press the Canadian pipeline company has identified a rough corridor, but not a specific route, through which the pipeline could run.

Howard said the proposal will be revealed during public hearings set by the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality, if a state review is allowed to proceed.

Lawmakers have given first-round approval to a bill that would let the state restart its review, after President Barack Obama denied a federal permit in the face of a congressional deadline, halting the process. Obama said Congress’ deadline didn’t give federal officials adequate time to review the pipeline.

2. Imagine a nationally(US Gov't) omned refinery in ND or Montana! Big oil would come apart!....

There would be no control of "all" our domestic oil, plus the shutting down of refineries to keep the supply tight, and prices high, at the whim of 'the Big oil' cartel. Just dreaming of course. Our crooks in Congress work closely with Big oil crooks, so would never happen.
