Area environmental group reacts to pipeline cancellation proposal

The chair of a Sudbury-based environmental group says the cancellation of the Energy East Pipeline project means people can relax. Linda Heron of Ontario Rivers Alliance was reacting to Trans Canada cancelling its $15.7 billion project.   The energy company wanted to transport 1.1 million barrels of western oil a day eastward to be refined.  Heron says hundreds of groups opposed the project because of fears a pipeline rupture would contaminate rivers, lakes and land.  Heron believes People Power and the declining demand for oil world-wide are major reasons behind Trans Canada cancelling its proposal.
