Activists Prepping to Take Action on Keystone XL Pipeline Construction

Opponents have asked the Nebraska Public Service Commission to let them intervene in the case and present formal arguments alongside attorneys for pipeline developer TransCanada

NEBRASKA — Activists who want to derail the Keystone XL pipeline in Nebraska are again mobilizing.

Opponents have asked the Nebraska Public Service Commission to let them intervene in the case and present formal arguments alongside attorneys for pipeline developer TransCanada.

Nebraska requires people to show a “substantial legal interest” in a project before they can intervene.

A spokeswoman of Bold Nebraska says her pipeline opposition group will argue that opponents have an interest as taxpayers and consumers of the state’s water.
