In a long-awaited environmental impact statement on the massive Keystone XL project, which has prompted repeated protests, the US State Department said the pipeline would be safer than most current oil transport systems.
"The Keystone XL pipeline will help to ensure that North America's future energy needs are met in a safe and environmentally responsible manner for decades to come."
"There would be no significant impact to most resources along the proposed pipeline corridor," Assistant Secretary of State Kerri-Ann Jones told reporters upon the release of the report.
"Today's final environmental impact statement continues to demonstrate the focus on safety and the environment that has gone into the development of this critical North American pipeline."

Canada has strongly backed the project and welcomed the report.
"Canada is the United States' largest and most reliable energy supplier," Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver said in a statement.

The company said Keystone XL would contribute more than $5 billion in property taxes to the communities it will pass through.
The building of the pipeline will also put 20,000 Americans to work, providing a $20 billion stimulus to the hard-hit US economy.
