No Flow for Keystone XL Pipeline
 On Jan. 18, 2012, the President accepted the State Department’s recommendation to reject the proposed Keystone XL Pipeline from the tar sands of Alberta, Canada to refineries in Texas. Congress had given the Administration a 60-day window to make a decision, which the State Department found insufficient to consider potential costs and impacts.
FAN members actively opposed the pipeline proposal. Find photos, statements, and additional resources about the pipeline in this FAN news story.
