Thanks Obama!
I like this part of the write up, since this is not necessarily the finale.
Quote:
Bill McKibben of 350.org:
“President Obama is the first world leader to reject a project because of its effect on the climate. That gives him new stature as an environmental leader, and it eloquently confirms the five years and millions of hours of work that people of every kind put into this fight. We're still well aware that the next president could undo all this, but this is a day of celebration.”
Record scratch! Here's freshly-minted Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's reaction:
“We are disappointed by the decision but respect the right of the United States to make the decision.”
TransCanada CEO Russ Girling:
“TransCanada and its shippers remain absolutely committed to building this important energy infrastructure project. We will review our options to potentially file a new application for border-crossing authority to ship our customer's crude oil, and will now analyze the stated rationale for the denial.”
