Currently the Keystone XL project is at a standstill with much overwhelming concern about the dangers to the Sandhills in Nebraska.

The company that wants to build the pipeline from Canada to the Gulf said Wednesday that their new proposal for the route of the pipeline minimizes the potential impact on the Sandhills, and now goes around two smaller city well fields.

Opponents to the project had not changed their minds and are still concerned. Bold Nebraska’s Jane Kleeb says state and federal officials should block the Keystone XL pipeline if the new route would still crosses the Sandhills and the Ogallala aquifer.

A map of the new route has not been seen yet.
