TransCanada Wins Bid to Lift Order Blocking Pipeline

TransCanada Corp. won a bid to lift a temporary court order blocking construction of part of its Keystone XL pipeline in the eastern part of the state.
Landowner Michael Bishop sued Calgary-based TransCanada last week, alleging they coerced him into a settlement that granted an easement across his farm near Nacogdoches, about 100 miles (160 kilometers) northeast of Houston. He claimed the pipeline’s permits are invalid because Keystone is permitted to carry only crude oil, not bitumen from Canadian tar sands.
