A coalition of environmental organizations has filed a lawsuit against
the federal government seeking to stop work on TransCanada's Keystone
oil pipeline. The groups allege that TransCanada received authorization
to begin work on the pipeline, which will transport crude from oil
sands in Alberta to refineries in Texas, from the Department of Fish and
Wildlife before the State Department had issued a final approval for
the project. The groups allege that this violated a federal law
preventing the commencement of project work before issuance of a final
approval. Environmental Groups Sue Over TransCanada Pipeline
