"The Obama administration rejected TransCanada's application to build
the Keystone XL pipeline on Friday, three individuals familiar with the

will be a crowning jewel for his legacy. Yet it also puts the president
in a direct confrontation with Republicans and energy advocates that
will almost surely spill over into the 2016 presidential election. Read more
