Texas Landowners Join Environmentalists for Historic Blockade of Keystone XL Tar Sands Pipeline
A standoff
is underway in Texas over construction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline, which
would run oil from the Canadian tar sands fields to U.S. refineries on the Gulf
Coast. In a protest now entering its fourth week, dozens of environmental
activists working with local Texas landowners have blocked the pipeline's path
with tree sits and other nonviolent protests. We speak to Susan Scott, who owns
land where the pipeline will run; actress Daryl Hannah, who was arrested there
last week and has long been active in protests against the pipeline; and Tar
Sands Blockade coalition spokesperson Ron Seifert. Watch/Listen/Read
