"Energy Transfer, the company behind the Dakota Access pipeline and other controversial projects, has failed to fix problems that were uncovered after an explosion on one of its projects in Pennsylvania, state regulators said.

The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection won't issue permits for Energy Transfer or its subsidiaries until the company comes in line with an October order to correct the problems, the agency said in a statement.

'There has been a failure by Energy Transfer and its subsidiaries to respect our laws and our communities,' Gov. Tom Wolf (D) said in a separate statement. 'This is not how we strive to do business in Pennsylvania, and it will not be tolerated.'"
