Prof. Klass Interviewed on MPR About Enbridge Line 3 Oil Pipeline

Professor Alexandra Klass was intereviewed on Minnesota Public Radio for a story reporting on the Minnesota Department of Commerce's recent testimony on the controversial "Line 3" oil pipeline Enbridge Energy Partners proposes to expand to bring crude oil from Canada through Minnesota to refineries. Much to the suprise of many industry and environmental groups, the Department of Commerce concluded the pipeline didn't satisfy the state's statutory "need" requirements and should not be built. Enbridge will have an opportunity to respond to the Department's testimony and there will be in-depth hearings on the topic before the issue goes to the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission for decision.
