Alberta Premier Promoting Keystone XL During Visit; Former Kerry Aides to Lobby

摘要

Alberta Premier Alison Redford on April 8 began a three-day visit here to promote the Keystone XL oil pipeline, while opponents have launched a national campaign aimed at energizing President Barack Obama's Democratic base and defeating the project. Redford is on her fourth visit to Washington in the past 18 months to lobby for the ambitious $7 billion conduit that would move Alberta oil sands output to Texas Gulf Coast refineries.
