Nebraska regulators on Tuesday denied TransCanada Corp’s TRP.TO request to retroactively amend its route application for the proposed Keystone XL pipeline project through the state, a potential setback to the company as it seeks to head off legal challenges to the approved path.

The state’s Public Service Commission had approved a route for Keystone XL last month, but it was not for the preferred route cited in TransCanada’s application. Instead the commission approved the company’s “alternative mainline” route, a move opponents of the pipeline have said violated state statutes.

Ken Winston, a lawyer for the Sierra Club, said he saw the commission’s ruling on Tuesday as a win for pipeline opponents.

“The fact that they’re having to consider an alternate route and that their motion was denied continues to make it more complicated for TransCanada. And any time it’s more complicated, that’s a victory for us,” he said.

Well, if you didn't already know, the evident purpose of the Sierra Club is to stop any industrial development in the US.   Maybe we can send them to China.

Or at least contain them in California
