The United States said Tuesday it would carry on with its review of the controversial cross-border Keystone XL oil pipeline project despite a request from builder TransCanada for a pause in the process.
The company said Monday it had asked Secretary of State John Kerry to suspend the review, citing litigation pending in Nebraska, one of the states through which the pipeline would run to bring crude from Canada’s Alberta province to the Gulf of Mexico. TransCanada said a ruling in Nebraska would take seven to 12 months.
