Republicans are disappointed. Last night the US Senate rejected, by one vote, a proposed oil pipeline between Canada and the United States.
"We're disappointed, says John Hoeven, a Republican senator, we knew it would be difficult to obtain the threshold of 60 votes, we only got 59. I thought that we could get 60 or 61 votes, that n has not occurred, but we knew that we would represent this issue before the new Congress because the president has made clear he will ask her to veto this bill. "
The Keystone XL project, launched six years ago,
involves the construction of a 1900 km pipeline to transport Canadian oil to the southern United States.
Republicans had made one of
themes of their successful campaign for
"Midterms" November 4.
The advocacy organizations
environment continue to campaign against the construction of the pipeline on behalf of
preserving the environment and
fight against global warming.
