A KEY STATE DEPARTMENT REVIEW raised no major environmental concerns about the long-delayed Keystone XL pipeline.

What will be the Obama administration's next delaying tactic? I don't think there's any question there will be one; the question will be how clever -- or arrogant -- it will be.

UPDATE: Someone else thinks as I do. Thomas Pyle, President of the Institute for Energy Research, released this statement:

The State Department’s release of the Keystone XL report should give proponents no hope that President Obama will someday approve this much-needed, job-creating pipeline. He will continue to give excuse after excuse, but President Obama will never side against the anti-oil ideologues both in and outside of his White House, despite the tremendous benefits for this nation and the overwhelming public support from the American people. As long as Barack Obama resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, I have a better chance of getting drafted by the the New York Yankees than we have of breaking ground on the Keystone XL.

I think he's right.
