The Obama administration is set to announce plans to explore a new route for the Keystone XL pipeline, potentially putting off the decision on whether to approve the controversial project until after the 2012 election, Reuters reports.
With Mr. Obama's decision to study a different route for the pipeline, he could quell the concerns of liberal activists at least through his bid for re-election. Studying a new route for the pipeline could take 12 to 18 months, Reuters reports. Mr. Obama suggested to a local news station earlier this month that he -- not the State Department -- would make the final call on the project.
