Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver says if the U.S. bases its Keystone XL pipeline decision on “facts and science,” he’s confident it will be approved.
His comments come after U.S. President Barack Obama said the pipeline must not “significantly exacerbate” greenhouse gas emissions if it’s to win his approval.
Obama addressed the TransCanada project as he unveiled a national plan to combat climate change at D.C.’s Georgetown University on Tuesday.
TransCanada said it was “pleased” with Obama’s comments on the pipeline and its impact on climate change.
“The almost five-year review of the project has already repeatedly found that these criteria are satisfied,” a TransCanada spokesperson said in a statement.
“If Keystone XL is not built, it’s clear that the oil will move to market by truck, rail and tanker, which will significantly add to global greenhouse gas emissions to move the product.”
Meanwhile, the Sierra Club of Canada said Obama’s comments on Keystone don’t “bode well” for pipeline proponents.
Like with the bird-killing wind turbines, intention and "feelings" are more important to these people than the actual results.
"Ignore the facts and science."
