Oil Change International responds to Trump approval of Keystone XL permit
Today, Donald Trump’s administration announced approval of the federal permit for the Keystone XL tar sands export pipeline. In response, Stephen Kretzmann, Executive Director of Oil Change International, released the following statement:
“Keystone XL has been seen as inevitable before, but nevertheless, we persisted. This isn’t game over, it’s game on. Now we have a President who is deeply beholden to the oil industry and will do anything they ask, so this approval is no surprise. This is a pipeline that was designed for an oil market that no longer exists, that will go through lands where people have never wanted it.
