As Keystone XL gets pulled into the center of the political battlefield, it's worth remembering how the pipeline became a national issue.

President Obama's punt on Keystone XL needs to be called out for what it is: an act of political cowardice. This deeply cynical political ploy was designed to placate both his environmental base and the oil lobby.

As Keystone XL protesters savor their victory to postpone the pipeline project, another oil policy decision this week did not turn out so well; a plan to expand drilling operations in the oil-damaged Gulf and pristine arctic.

We'll be dissecting and parsing this victory for weeks to come. And we'll be ready the second the Keystone XL zombie raises its head again. Big Oil is the 1 percent, and we've put them on notice.

The movement to stop the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline has become symbolic of our struggle to avert climate catastrophe, and it's breaking through and gaining momentum.
