Jailed Activists Start Hunger Strike in Campaign Against Keystone Pipeline 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Two activists have gone on hunger strike in jail as part of a campaign
against the controversial Keystone XL oil pipeline that would carry
Canadian tar sands oil to Texas. Diane Wilson and Bob Lindsey Jr. are
demanding that energy firm Valero divest from the Keystone XL project.
The pair were arrested after locking themselves to trucks in a bid to
block access to a Valero refinery in Houston, Texas.
