When completed, TransCanada's Keystone XL pipeline will bring nearly 20,000 direct and 118,000 indirect jobs to Americans.
When completed, the Keystone XL pipeline will also safely deliver nearly 5 percent (almost one million barrels per day) of America’s daily consumption of oil from Canada to the U.S. Gulf Coast – without the risk of environmental damage from a supertanker oil spill originating from the Middle East, and without the need of deploying U.S. troops overseas to defend the oil at its source.
Who's for it [link to www.transcanada.com] : Jimmy Hoffa and the Teamsters Rocky Mountain Environmental Labor Coalition Rick Perry Mitt Romney Michele Bachmann Newt Gingrich Rick Santorum The American Legion US Chamber of Commerce scores of Mayors, Governors and entire State Legislatures
Who's against it: Al Gore Al Jazeera New York Times MoveOn.org Sierra Club Greenpeace China (who is willing to pay for another pipeline to get their hands on the oil)
The public comment period will end October 9 and will include nine public meetings in the states affected by Keystone XL: Texas, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, South Dakota, Oklahoma, ending in Washington, D.C. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will make her recommendation to President Obama, who must make a decision to connect the Keystone pipeline across the Canadian-U.S. border by November 1.
During this period, you have an opportunity to support the pipeline in a number of ways:
