PIPELINE WOES: a federal judge blocked a permit from the Trump administration for the construction of the TransCanada Keystone XL pipeline, pending an environmental review. The long-term pipeline would start in Alberta and transport up to 830,000 barrels per day of crude through half a dozen states to terminals on the Gulf Coast. US District Judge Brian Morris suspended the $ 8 billion project and ruled that the potential impact had not been considered as required by federal law. Environmentalists and Native American groups sued to stop the project, citing property rights and possible oil spills.
The State Department issued a presidential permit for the pipeline in 2008, and after years of legal disputes, President Barack Obama rejected the permit in 2015.
