FILE - In this file photo from April 18, 2013, opponents of the Keystone XL pipeline hold up head bands during the U.S. State Department's sole public hearing in Grand Island, Neb. On Wednesday, Feb. 19, 2014, Lancaster County Judge Stephanie Stacy issued a ruling that invalidated Nebraska Gov. Dave Heineman's approval of the route. Judge Stacy agreed with opponents' arguments that a law passed in 2011 improperly delegated the decision-making power to Heineman to give the TransCanada pipeline company eminent domain powers within the state. Stacy said the decision should have been made by the Nebraska Public Service Commission, which regulates pipelines and other utilities. (AP Photo/Nati Harnik, File)
