It's been clear for many years that there are already more fossil fuel projects in the pipeline than what the planet can handle. This wasn't a secret.
The fault of these companies was pretending that they can ignore the climate crisis.
The choice is actually quite simple: Either we find a way to stop projects already in the pipeline and sometimes already in operation or the planet gets burned. I know which one I'd choose.
Will the permit holder be compensated for lost revenue from the oil pipeline they had been given permission to build but now cannot?
What would happen had the permit been revoked after the oil pipeline was already operational?
