President Obama,
Reject Keystone XL
THE KEYSTONE XL and tar
sands expansion have no place in
a clean energy future
I can understand why oil companies love tar sands. There is a
lot of money to be made by strip
mining and drilling the dirtiest
oil on the planet.
The oil industry is lobbying
hard for President Obama’s approval to let the Keystone XL
pipeline cross our border and
move a river of tar sands to the
Gulf Coast, where much of it will
be shipped overseas. But why
Construction
of the Gulf
Coast Project.
Part of
Keystone XL,
the 485mile crude
oil pipeline
will run from
Cushing,
Okla., to
Nederland, Tx.
