Bye Keystone XL, hello Line 3

Earlier this month, environmentalists scored a major win they’d spent
years fighting for: the cancellation of the Keystone XL pipeline. But
while that project died, there is another pipeline that’s been carrying
oil sands from Canada to the US for years: Enbridge’s Line 3. Line 3 has
long needed critical maintenance to operate at full capacity, and
blocking work on a replacement pipeline has become another key fight for
environmentalists. Today, POLITICO’s Ben Lefebvre explains the tensions
around Line 3, and whether the Biden administration will step in to shut
down the project.
