Nebraska regulators approved an alternative route Monday for the proposed Keystone XL pipeline. It was the last major regulatory hurdle facing project operator TransCanada Corp., though opponents say another round of federal approval may now be needed.
The Nebraska Public Service Commission's ruling was on the Nebraska route TransCanada has proposed to complete the $8 billion, 1,179-mile (1,897-kilometer) pipeline to deliver oil from Alberta, Canada, to Texas Gulf Coast refineries. The proposed Keystone XL route would cross parts of Montana, South Dakota and most of Nebraska to Steele City, Nebraska.
The long-delayed project was rejected by President Barack Obama in 2015, citing concerns about carbon pollution. President Donald Trump revived it in March, approving a permit.
[...] The five-member Nebraska Public Service Commission was forbidden by law from factoring pipeline safety or the risk of spills into its decision because pipeline safety is a federal responsibility. So, it couldn't take into account a spill of 210,000 gallons (790,000 liters) of oil on the existing Keystone pipeline in South Dakota announced on Thursday.

I expect whoever is paying for that pipe thinks that Donal Trump will be elected to a second term.

In 2015 I said to the American people: I own over $250,000 in TransCanada Pipelines stock, but not over $500,000. The ticker symbol is TRP, I had to buy that one. You know I had to buy it, for the same reason you, I assume, own M.D.C. Holdings. And it's doing amazingly today (they both are). It's not amazing, the Nebraska thing is great news. For me, for you, for TransCanada, for M.D.C. Holdings, for 🇨🇦, for 🇺🇸. America First!
I ABSOLUTELY will be elected to a second term. That's a 100% certainty. Noah from the future said so. He's not a smart guy, to be perfectly honest he's a dummy. SEVERELY handicapped in the head. Mentally he's not all there. But he comes from the future so he knows things other people don't. I knew I would win in 2020. But some people doubted it. Just like they doubted I would win in 2016. Not any more. youtu.be/ag8E-p4v_24 [youtu.be] #TRUMP2020 [twitter.com] #WINNING [twitter.com]

I've been stressing over a woman who may be married. Her ring isn't always there, and sometimes she wears it on her right hand.
You gave me a belly laugh. I needed that.

So you're gonna be worth a lot. You're telling me you've got a girlfriend, do you get a prenuptial agreement? You get married, and then for some reason over the next couple of years you get divorced and then she sues you for $10 billion and she hits the jackpot. In New York, she would get a big chunk of what you have. A prenup is an ugly instrument, but you'd better have one. If I didn't have mine, I would not own all these beautiful buildings. I'm notoriously cheap with these things, OK, because I think if she made $1 million, that would be very good. Vagina is expensive. But don't overspend. Always, always get the prenup. With women that's the biggest thing to remember.
