Americans are more supportive of the proposed Keystone XL pipeline than Canadians are, according to a poll by an analyst at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.
Seventy-four percent of Americans surveyed said they support U.S. government approval of the TransCanada Corp. project that would carry oil from Canada through the U.S., compared with 68 percent of Canadians, according to polling by Nik Nanos, a scholar at the Washington-based institute. Americans also are more likely to say achieving North American energy independence is more important than reducing greenhouse-gas emissions, according to the poll.
