    The document discusses the debate around approving the Keystone XL oil pipeline, which has faced opposition from the White House and support from Congress and the courts. It notes TransCanada also supports the pipeline but the State Department remains undecided. While environmentalists warn of potential environmental damage, supporters argue the pipeline could generate jobs and economic growth for Canada and the U.S., which have struggled with recession and lack of opportunities for over 15 years. Major political and corporate players must determine whether the potential risks outweigh the economic benefits.
