Is it in our "national interest" to allow TransCanada to build the Keystone XL Pipeline Extension?

In 2008, TransCanada Corporation filed an application with the U.S. Government to expand its already existing Keystone Pipeline referred to as the Keystone XL extension.  The federal government now needs to decide whether this pipeline expansion is in our "national interest".  





​


​President Biden revoked a key cross-border presidential permit needed to finish the controversial Keystone XL pipeline on his inaugural day.
This likely means the end of the $8 billion pipeline, a years-long project that would have carried oil sands crude from Alberta, Canada, to the American Gulf Coast.

ESS2.E: BIOGEOLOGY:  How do living organisms alter Earth’s processes and structures?
The many dynamic and delicate feedbacks between the biosphere and other Earth systems cause a continual co-evolution of Earth’s surface and the life that exists on it.
ESS3.A: NATURAL RESOURCES:   How do humans depend on Earth’s resources?
Resource availability has guided the development of human society. All forms of energy production and other resource extraction have associated economic, social, environmental, and geopolitical costs and risks, as well as benefits. New technologies and regulations can change the balance of these factors.
