Company Behind Keystone XL Pipeline Ends Controversial Project

CALGARY — TC Energy, the Canadian company behind the controversial Keystone XL pipeline, said Wednesday it plans to terminate the project after the Biden administration revoked its permit in January, according to a Washington Post report.

The decision to pull the plug on the project ends a decade of controversy stemming from the project. Construction on the 1,200-mile pipeline began last year when former President Donald Trump revived the long-delayed project after it had stalled under the Obama administration.
