Louisiana Judge Rules Bayou Bridge Pipeline Permit Is Illegal
-------------------------------------------------------------

A Louisiana judge has ruled the permit for the proposed 163-mile Bayou
Bridge pipeline is illegal-meaning the pipeline's construction must now
be halted as the permit is reconsidered. The proposed pipeline has faced
mounting resistance from residents and environmental activists. It's
being built by Energy Transfer Partners, the same company behind the
Dakota Access pipeline.
