Meanwhile, TransCanada, the company to build the pipeline, said it will propose an alternate route soon that considers Nebraska's concerns.
Reince Priebus: "The Republicans have been in favor of this Keystone pipeline that will create twenty thousand jobs. Supporters of the Keystone pipeline from the tar sands in Western Canada to the refineries in the Gulf Coast say the project would create 20, jobs, including the U. Chamber of Commerce. However, the U.
State Department estimated it would create 5, - 6, jobs and some analysis say the number isn't that high, including a report by the Cornell University Global Labor Institute that found up to 1, temporary construction jobs would be created. David Axelrod: "But understand this president has approved dozens of pipelines.
He is going to speak this week about another spur from Oklahoma to the Gulf so we can relieve a glut of oil that we have and get it down to refineries there. The president is traveling to Oklahoma as well as Nevada and New Mexico this week and will discuss energy production. After the Obama administration rejected the Keystone XL project, TransCanada, the behind the pipeline, said it was moving forward with a portion of the pipeline that doesn't need State Department approval because it doesn't cross international borders.
The approval of oil pipelines that cross state lines consist of a combination of state and federal approval processes. The president said he supports the project because it "will help address the bottleneck of oil in Cushing that has resulted in large part from increased domestic oil production.

However, after the BP oil spill, the Obama administration instituted a temporary moratorium that was later lifted in parts of Alaska and the Gulf Coast. The administration has maintained its drilling and exploration ban in the Mid-Atlantic, citing the need for more environmental impact studies.
The first post-moratorium opportunity for the industry to buy leases was in December and the June sale is the last opportunity for industry to buy leases to drill until the next five-year plan is implemented in The administration said it will continue exploration and drilling in the Gulf Coast and parts of Alaska but has not committed to opening federal waters off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, which are areas pro-oil drilling advocates want opened and are among the reasons they frame the Obama administration as anti-drilling.
Another point of disappointment among drilling advocates is that the industry faces higher prices for leases and additional safety and environmental regulations, which many oil-drilling advocates say are making drilling more difficult.
Reince Priebus: "Well, this president shut down on-shore drilling. He shut down off-shore drilling. He shut down Keystone. And so now we're sitting in a place where we're no better off today than where we were three years ago. As described above, the president issued a moratorium on new offshore drilling and exploration after the BP oil spill but later lifted the moratorium.
