The oil company obviously couldn’t help rubbing its 2.3 billion dollar baby’s success in the face of the protestors and activists who are fighting to keep the Keystone project from going forward. Objections range from the contention that the last thing a warming Earth needs is more fossil fuels to specific concerns about the southern leg of the pipeline’s shoddy construction.

The most controversial part of the project, though, remains in limbo: TransCanada can’t construct the border-crossing northern leg of the pipeline, which will tap directly into Canada’s oil sands, without U.S. approval. Its ultimate victory, as before, hinges on whether or not President Obama decides to take a stand for clean energy.
