TUCSON, Ariz. – A senior attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity, Jared Margolis, called the termination of the Keystone XL oil pipeline project “a landmark moment in the fight against the climate crisis.” For 14 years the center had organized activists against the pipeline. Margolis credited President Biden for the termination of the project,vwhich was announced Wednesday by pipeline owner TC Energy of Alberta. In January, Biden cancelled U.S. licenses needed to complete missing links in the 1,200-mie pipeline. “We’re hopeful that the Biden administration will continue to shift this country in the right direction by opposing fossil fuel projects,” Margolis said. Environmentalists and native people.,meanwhile, remain on-site in northern Minnesota against the Enbridge Line 3 pipeline and at Cheboygan, Michigan, against the Enbridge Line 5 pipeline. Although Keystone XL was a project of TC Energy of Calgary, Alberta, a stakeholder was Enbridge, also of Calgary.
