Last month a federal appeals court upheld a ruling that found the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers fell short in an environmental assessment that provided a construction easement for the Dakota Access Pipeline in 2016.
The decision immediately reignited calls for the pipeline to be shut down, with activists urging President Biden to take executive action to shutter its operation and stop the flow of oil. But before protesters dust off their bullhorns and pitch camp on the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation, it is important to consider the facts and what, exactly, the ruling means.
