Political Factoid

Construction of the controversial
Keystone XL pipeline to carry
Canadian synthetic crude oil*
would:
  • Create numerous and substantial
    impacts on the environment.
     
  • Bring into the country oil that
    produces 17 percent more
    greenhouse gases than the
    natural crude oil currently
    refined in the United States.
     
  • Make no difference in the
    high U.S. oil consumption.
* Significantly more hazardous than
products carried by most existing
U.S. pipelines.
