A process which Nebraska has gone through before begins again Wednesday.
The Nebraska Public Service Commission is holding a public hearing on TransCanada’s proposal to build the Keystone XL oil pipeline through the state.
TransCanada’s Matt John expects to hear about the same pros and cons the company has heard for the past six years. . .


John says the company has a track record in Nebraska, with the first Keystone oil pipeline. . .

The public will be able to voice its support or opposition to Keystone XL during the public hearing.
President Trump has given the go-ahead to the project, but the route through Nebraska has yet to be approved.
