    I was just condensing some of what I read into a quicker read... Everything I took from the several articles I read.

    The video at the beginning of the WaPo Article I linked has Trump saying, "we are going to renegotiate some of the terms." Though it's not explicitly in the executive order, Trump then said that, "We are, and I am, very insistent that if we're going to build pipelines in the United States, the pipes should be made in the United States." I'm sure there are plenty of other reasons, some laudable and others less so, but that's what's officially been presented.

    Here's a video of Sean Spicer, White House press secretary, saying that the areas of Dakota and the Keystone pipeline would "increase jobs, increase economic growth, and tap into America's energy supply more." Again, probably more going on that what's being said, but I didn't want to write anything past what's being said.

    In the main linked article from Financial Post, a spokesman with Greenpeace, Travis Nichols, said, "A powerful alliance of indigenous communities, ranchers, farmers, and climate activists stopped the Keystone pipeline the first time, and the same alliance will come together to stop Keystone again if Trump tries to raise it from the dead" (emphasis mine). My understanding was the physical protest had more or less disbanded after Obama's decision to delay the project, and so it would then be 'restarted' to counter Trump's new stance. I'm not sure what "way" I used the word in the first place, other than to indicate that it's starting up after ending, so I'm not sure how else to respond past that.
