SUGAR LAND--January 31, 2017--Written by John Egan for Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--President Donald Trump's actions last week to revive administrative consideration of the Keystone XL pipeline project and expedite the completion of the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) drew praise from industry groups and the affected companies, and criticism from environmental organizations.
