the administration’s own State Department has thrice declared Keystone XL to be an environmentally-safe project

Good that there are limits to environazi propaganda but I can't help wondering: What is the State Department doing passing judgement on internal US environmental questions (or any environmental questions)?

Keystone XL pipeline is an international pipeline. Canada into the US. Therefore, it must pass the approval from the state department.
