In case you missed it -- TransCanada's original Keystone pipeline spilled at least 380,000 gallons of tarsands and toxic diluents into wetlands in North Dakota on Oct. 30.
The spill -- the twenty-first (21) spill on the Keystone pipeline since 2010 -- led U.S. pipeline regulator PHMSA to order TransCanada to shut down the pipeline again via Corrective Action Order -- the fourth such order issued to shut Keystone down since 2010 because "continued operation before corrective action would be hazardous
to life, property, or the environment."
Make sure to add your voice and tell the U.S. State Dept. that TransCanada's safety record is an unacceptable risk to our land, water and climate, and the Keystone XL pipeline should be rejected as not in the U.S. national interest.
TransCanada ("TC Energy") may have now filed eminent domain lawsuits against Nebraska landowners for Keystone XL, but many of these families are fighting back -- and Pipeline Fighters are standing with them.
Bold has organized a meeting next Saturday, Nov. 16 to provide updates on the eminent domain lawsuits from attorney Brian Jorde with Domina Law Group, who is representing many families who are refusing to sell their land for KXL. Bold's Jane Kleeb and Tom Genung from the Nebraska Easement Action Team (NEAT) will also discuss the State Department's new draft Environmental Impact Statement for KXL, and give folks the opportunity to write and mail-in NoKXL public comments that must be postmarked by Nov. 18, the comments deadline.
We'll also have NoKXL updates from friends visiting from South Dakota, a community meal, and after lunch offer a "Know Your Rights" training provided by ACLU of Nebraska and other partners.
