President Trump might have signed off on the Keystone XL pipeline but opponents aren’t finished in their fight.
One group, Bold Nebraska based in Hastings plans to continue the battle against what its President Linda Anderson calls a “reckless” pipeline.
In a Friday morning email notice she said, “Here’s the good news: Trump doesn’t have the final word on the Keystone XL pipeline.”
She vowed the pipeline can still be stopped and at the same time asked for a $25 donation.
“Our unlikely alliance has already defeated this pipeline twice before, and our fight isn’t over yet—in fact, in Nebraska it has just begun,” said Anderson.
She pointed out TransCanada still has no state permit or approved route in Nebraska.
“The Nebraska Public Service Commission just launched an 8-12 month review of their pipeline route permit application. The process includes public hearings and formal intervenor proceedings that will take legal, Treaty and water experts,” she said.
Anderson said the other major obstacle is “the core group of brave farmers and ranchers, who for seven years have refused to give in to TransCanada’s threats of using eminent domain for their private gain.”
Bold Nebraska was planning a letter writing party to be held Friday night so letters could be sent to the Public Service Commission.
