Sign the Petition on the Keystone Pipeline

The Only Thing the Keystone Pipeline Will Help is the Oil Companies Bottom Line

Is the Keystone XL Pipeline Really Needed?

I read many articles that show production and even exports of crude oil is up in the U.S. U.S. oil production reached 7.5 million barrels a day in July, the highest monthly output level since 1991, according to a new government report, the San Antonio's Home Page newspaper reported. According to Census bureau export data reviewed by the Financial Times, the value of petroleum and coal exports more than doubled. There are claims of a high number of jobs that would be created but a State Department report shows that although about 42,000 jobs might be possible over a 1-2 year period that the Keystone would generate only 35 permanent and 15 temporary jobs. “Based on this estimate, routine operation of the proposed pipeline would have negligible socioeconomic impacts.”
