After securing the death of Keystone XL, emboldened environmentalists are projecting confidence about their chances of convincing President Joe Biden to intervene in other oil pipeline disputes.
Their top target is the Line 3 pipeline in northern Minnesota. A company is poised to replace an aging pipeline to transport crude from Canada’s Alberta oil sands through the state’s watersheds and tribal lands to Superior, Wisconsin.
Enbridge, the Canadian-based project developer, says the $9 billion pipeline expansion is needed to replace an existing pipeline from the 1960s that is corroding and only operating at half capacity.
