Cattle Ranch in Nebraska's Sandhills Where Keystone XL Oil Pipeline is Planned

---

Stuart, Nebraska - A cow tends to her newborn calf on Susan Luebbe's cattle ranch in Nebraska's Sandhills. Luebbe is an opponent of Transcanada's Keystone XL pipeline, which was slated to cross her ranch. She says the Ogallala Aquifer, which is only two feet below the surface here, would be immediately polluted if there was an oil spill.
