President Obama: Reject Keystone XL!
President Obama said that he would reject Keystone XL if it significantly contributed to climate change. Now the evidence is in: an 830,000 barrel per day pipeline will allow big oil to dig up, refine and burn more tar sands than they could with any other available options, which means the President must reject the pipeline.
Why is this important?
Right now we are in the middle of the last official public comment period for the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline. This project is a climate disaster, bringing 830,000 barrels per day of tar sands oil from Canada across the US to be refined and burned.
The State Department is accepting comments on the Final Environmental Impact Statement -- this is the last chance to comment on the project before President Obama makes his decision about the pipeline.
