TransCanada Corp., the company building the Keystone XL pipeline, has spent almost twice as much money this year compared to 2013 on lobbying U.S. government officials.

So far the company has shelled out $790,000 this year.

The company says the money has been spent lobbying on “natural gas issues in the United States and between the U.S. and Canada” as well as “Keystone XL,” according to its latest report.

The first half of 2013 TransCanada shelled out $450,000 trying to sway the American government to approve the project.
