House Republicans try again to move Keystone pipeline

Reuters -- Republicans in the House of Representatives will try to force quick approval of the Canada-to-Texas Keystone XL oil pipeline using a highway funding bill, but the plan's author said on Monday there may be more than one avenue for advancing the project.

President Barack Obama's administration blocked TransCanada's $7 billion project last month.

A key House panel is set to vote on Tuesday to attach a plan to speed approval for the project into the highway bill, but a must-pass payroll tax cut legislation provides another option, said Lee Terry, a Republican from Nebraska.

"We'll keep swinging," Terry told reporters.

"Maybe we'll use both."

Terry's plan is slated for a vote by the House Energy and Commerce Committee on Tuesday.

LOWER GASOLINE PRICES HERE WILL CREATE MORE JOBS HERE than money in the pockets of INTERNATIONAL oil producers. [Edited by: leraar2 at 2/7/2012 11:04:07 AM EST]

As it is now, the planned pipeline is scheduled to go to areas where the refineries cannot take on the extra oil, but those areas do have underused ports that can export it.
