The Keystone XL Pipeline is NOT in the best interest of the United States. Building the Keystone XL Pipeline will . . .
Damage the economy. The project will only create 20 permanent jobs. However, KXL will impede the progress of the green industry, which starts clean energy and transportation projects across the country.
Destroy the environment. The project will result in disastrous oil spills, habitat loss, and wetland destruction, endangering both people and wildlife.
Devastate the people. Building the pipeline will threaten water resources, which supply water for drinking and irrigation. It will jeopardize the productivity of the agricultural industry in America's heartland.
Exacerbate climate change. Oil sands produce 17% more greenhouse gases than conventional oil.
