Huffington Post: In its recently released draft environmental review of the Keystone XL pipeline that would bring tar sands from Canada to the Gulf Coast for export, the State Department attempts to make the case that rail could be a viable alternative. The State Department argued that Keystone XL would have little effect on tar sands production because rail could provide an equally feasible and economic transportation option for tar sands. This is a critical element of the draft environmental review because while...

National Geographic: Elisabeth Leja is 74. She is a retired math teacher who does water aerobics and walks every day for her health. In February, Leja chained herself by the neck to a giant excavator in central Oklahoma that was digging the way for the Gulf Coast segment of the Keystone XL pipeline.

Canada: Environmental Justice and the Keystone XL Pipeline

EcoWatch: On March 1, in an unexpected move, President Obamas U.S. Department of State released its draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) for the proposed Keystone XL pipeline section that will cross the U.S. and Canadian border in Montana and travel into Steele City, Nebraska. First and foremost, the SEIS report defies common sense with the statement that reads the proposed Project is unlikely to have a substantial impact on the rate of development in the oil sands, and gravely understates...
