Texans rally against Keystone XL oil pipeline easement @ LA Times
President Obama may have nixed a permit for the Keystone XL tar sands oil pipeline, but that hasn’t stopped the Canadian company that wants to build the 1,660-mile structure from going to court to force the cooperation of landowners who don’t want it crossing their land.
The issue erupted into a noisy protest Friday in Paris, Texas, where farm manager Julia Trigg Crawford has sought a temporary restraining order to prevent the company, TransCanada, from beginning any construction or digging on her property until issues of legal jurisdiction are decided.
