A company called TransCanada has proposed a tar sands pipeline – called "Keystone XL" – that would cut through America’s heartland and put people and wildlife at risk from toxic oil spills, polluted water and more. Perhaps most dangerously, Keystone XL would drive development in Canada’s tar sands region, one of the biggest threats to our global climate.
TransCanada’s Keystone XL would carry up to 830,000 barrels per day of tar sands oil from Alberta, Canada more than two thousand miles to refineries on the U.S. Gulf Coast. The pipeline would cross six American states including Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas.
