The U.S. Senate falls one vote short in its attempt to approve construction of the Keystone XL pipeline (NYSE:TRP), ending prospects for such legislation this year.
A total of 59 senators voted for the measure and 41 voted against it, but the bill required 60 votes for passage.
Louisiana Sen. Mary Landrieu had pushed for the vote to boost her chances in her Dec. 6 runoff election.
