Audio: Ben Philpott's story for KUT News
This week on KUT News and The Texas Tribune, we'll have a four-part series on the pipeline and the unresolved issues surrounding it. Whether it's the "glut" of oil in Cushing, Okla., that's just waiting to get to Texas refineries, or the battle between landowners and those trying to build the pipeline, the series will lay out the current stumbling blocks and the road ahead to get it built.
Ben Philpott, with KUT News and the Tribune, talks with StateImpact Texas reporters Mose Buchele and Terrence Henry about the series.
