The pressure to decide whether or not to go forth on construction on the Keystone Oil line is getting greater and greater. The house passed the bill for construction and Nebraska Supreme Court cleared the way for construction of the project. All that is left to decide is President Obama as of Friday. The house vote was 266 to 153, the pipeline winning. Obama originally said he would wait to decide until the court did, but now that excuse is invalid. Republicans and some democrats support the pipeline. It will carry 830,000 barrels of oil per day from canada, creating jobs and economic growth. Democrats who are environmentalists, however, do not support the project. Obama signed a bill that transferred the power of making this decision to congress. Although, the Nebraska court is not allowing that to happen.
