The Senate is scheduled to vote tonight on the Keystone XL pipeline. The bill cleared the House last week, and if passed in the Senate, the next stop is President Barack Obama’s desk.

NPR’s Jeff Brady, who covers energy, speaks with Here & Now’s Robin Young about the potential impact the pipeline could have on the American public, including the possibility of creating potential jobs, lowering energy prices and affecting the environment.
