The controversy surrounding the Keystone Pipeline project has escalated to the point where protesters surrounded the White House yesterday to demand that the project be stopped.
Read CNN’s coverage of the recent event here.
We previously covered this story in our New Jersey Condemnation Law Blog (story available here), and first discussed this project a year ago on Fox News Channel, where McKirdy & Riskin’s Anthony Della Pelle provided commentary – watch the video here.

The recent protests have politicized this project to the point where some have suggested that it will be a relevant topic in upcoming elections, pitting property rights advocates with environmental conservation forces against energy lobby and interests and those who contend that the project will help support the economy by providing thousands of high paying construction jobs.
This one does not seem destined to end any time in the near future, so we expect to be back for more soon.
