Responding to TransCanada’s announcement that they would be suspending their application to build the Energy East pipeline, Aurore Fauret, Canadian Tar Sands campaigner with 350.org issued this statement:
“This all started when thousands of people across Canada got together and applied for the Energy East review demanding to speak about climate change. Now, more than two years later, we’re winning. Energy East is getting a climate review and TransCanada looks ready to call it quits. This is a win for people power and shows the fossil fuel billionaires know that their business plans don’t fit with real climate action.”
