Canada's TC Energy Corp. and the Albertan provincial government said Wednesday they would scuttle the Keystone XL oil pipeline project, bringing to an end a decadelong controversy over an effort to pipe more Canadian crude into the U.S.

It is nonetheless a win for environmentalists who have campaigned to block new pipeline construction as a way to limit oil consumption that contributes to global warming.
