Heres the best summary weve found yet of todays vigils held statewide against Keystone XL and Enbridges MN tar sands pipelines. Included: video from Minneapolis, pictures from Duluth, and a quote from Mankato! Chuck Prentice, a volunteer organizer with environmentalist group MN350, called for Obama to veto a bill being sponsored by Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D., calling for its approval. “With a looming KXL vote in the U.S. Senate ... Obama must take urgent action and reject the pipeline now,” Prentice said. Already-existing pipelines that carry tar sands oil through North Dakota and Minnesota, Enbridge’s Alberta Clipper and Line 3 pipeline, was also a target for protesters. The Canadian-based Enbridge lines are in the process of applying for expansion. “If Obama rejects KXL, he must also reject these KXL clone pipelines in Minnesota,” said MN350 Mankato member Katy Wortel in a press release.
