House Approves Keystone Pipeline Despite Opposition From Hawaii Representatives

By /
The House approved construction of the construction of the  Keystone Pipeline, 241-175, with both of Hawaii’s representatives, Colleen Hanabusa and Tulsi Gabbard, voting no.

The measure now goes to the Senate. As we reported yesterday, Hanabusa cited not only environmental concerns, but potential problems with Native American sacred grounds.
