Keystone defeat energizes anti-pipeline activists

Anti-pipeline activists feel energized after the company behind the Keystone XL pipeline announced it would terminate the project following a more than decade-long battle.

The news that the fight over that pipeline ended in victory for environmental and Native advocates left opponents of another major pipeline feeling optimistic.

Keystone’s termination came amid an intensifying fight over Enbridge’s Line 3 pipeline, which likewise pits some indigenous and environmental groups against a Canadian firm.
