FILE - In this April 19, 2012, file photo, a fence in the fog near the proposed new route for the Keystone XL pipeline several miles north of Neligh, Neb. House Republicans pushed a proposal Wednesday, May 22, 2013, to bypass the president to speed approval of the 1,700-mile Keystone XL pipeline, which would transport oil from Canada to Texas. Democrats criticized the plan as a blatant attempt to allow a foreign company to avoid environmental review. As debate opened, Republicans said the measure was needed to ensure the long-delayed pipeline is built. The bill was eventually approved, 241-175, largely along party lines.
