A US senator is speaking up in favour of the Keystone XL pipeline.

Alaska Republican Lisa Murkowski says that she’s shocked to hear the opposition against the project, which would transport a much-needed resource to the United States.

Murkowski also defended the carbon-intensive methods used to extract oilsands crude during a speech this week.
