Despite overwhelming scientific evidence of its impact on Global Warming, the US State Department, relying on the same companies developing the Keystone XL Pipeline for information, raised no major environmental objections to the controversial Keystone XL pipeline from Canada through the heart of the U.S.
The recently released State Dept report says: "Approval or denial of any one crude oil transport project ... is unlikely to significantly impact the rate of extraction in the oil sands or the continued demand for heavy crude oil at refineries in the United States." But that is UNTRUE. Not only would a rejection send a strong message to Big Oil, it would protect OUR farms, OUR communities, OUR water, OUR air, OUR children.
STOP dirty oil now and push for only GREEN energy solutions!
