Rejection of Keystone Pipeline Points to Cleaner Future -- EDF
“The Keystone Pipeline was not the right path for America, and President Obama deserves credit for rejecting the project. As a nation, we have turned the corner, and are now recognizing that we need to consider the impacts of energy projects on climate pollution.
“Credit also belongs to the many activists and organizations who led the fight to oppose Keystone. Their leadership showed the world that we must unite behind lower carbon solutions that will bring us a future with more jobs, less pollution, and reduced risk from climate change.
“For all those who had the audacity to say ‘no’ to Keystone when Washington seemed determined to say ‘yes,’ this shows your power. I thank you and encourage you to stay engaged and push for a clean energy future.”
- Fred Krupp, president of Environmental Defense Fund
