One of the environmentalists behind opposition to a Texas oil pipeline said she would oppose the project even if regulators deemed it environmentally safe.
“It doesn’t even matter whether the pipeline is dangerous or not dangerous or any of that,” activist Lori Glover said about the Trans-Pecos Pipeline, adding that in some ways the safety of the line is irrelevant.
“[D]o we have the right to define our own community. If we don’t want it, we don’t want it,” she said in a video obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation. Her comments come as environmentalists continue to fight against controversial projects like the Dakota Access and Keystone XL pipelines.
