On Tuesday, Nebraska's governor, Dave Heineman, announced that he has approved his state's part of the Keystone Pipeline.
It now falls upon the State Department to approve the project, before it can begin.
According to Heineman, he approved the route, due to it's minimalist impact on the environment.
The Keystone Pipeline will also add an estimated four hundred and eighteen million dollars to the economy, of Nebraska alone.
Nebraska was the last state to approve the pipeline, which will go from Canada to Texas.
Most of the other states have gone ahead and begun construction.
The Obama administration has repeatedly blocked the pipeline, but Nebraska's move should make it extremely politically inconvenient for them to continue doing so.
