Do not allow the Keystone XL Pipeline to be built from Canada to the Texas Gulf coast. The risks of pollution and public safety greatly outweigh the projected; mostly temporary; jobs and economic impact for tar sands oil to ultimately be exported and have no effect on our own oil usage.
Why is this important?
Say no to allowing the Keystone Pipeline being built across the United States from Canada to the Texas Gulf Coast. The risks of oil leaks, pollution and public safety are too high of a cost. The oil industry can not be trusted to guarantee the public's safety. The more than a dozens of accidents involving pipelines, oil rigs, train derailments, and shipping have demonstrated the lack of concern on their part in the name of commerce and profits.
