Pres. Obama Rejects the Keystone XL Pipeline

In a decisive action that kills the proposed 1700-mile TransCanada pipeline for now, President Obama has sided with the voices of climate advocates led by RFF grantee, 350.org and its leader, Bill McKibben.  Against great political odds and the deep-pocketed backing of the oil industry, the decision marks a spectacular victory for climate progress and a new energy economy.
