What Is Wrong With The Keystone XL Pipeline?
2013-08-25 02:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Forbes: Just Greed and Politics. Pipeline defects have been identified along a 60-mile stretch of the southern segment of the Keystone XL pipeline, north of the Sabine River in Texas (Winnsboro, Texas). Sections of pipe have dents, faulty welds, and pin-holes in some sections enough to see daylight through. The installers have been digging up parts of the new southern segment of the Keystone pipeline that only recently have been installed. It seems that the existing leg of the Keystone has spilled more...

Crunch time for Keystone XL

Hill: Its crunch time in the fight over constructing the Keystone XL oil sands pipeline. Both sides believe a decision by President Obama could come by the end of the year, making the next few months critical for lobbying and messaging efforts. Opponents plan a burst of demonstrations and other events across the country to rally environmental pressure on Obama to reject the Alberta-to-the-Gulf-Coast pipeline. Supporters are also campaigning, with the American Petroleum Institute (API) promoting...
How Shoddy Science Almost Led One Agency to Use Flawed Map in Keystone XL Review

Greenwire: A year ago, the Fish and Wildlife Service was poised to use a scientifically flawed range map for the American burying beetle during a preliminary assessment of the Keystone XL pipeline's effect on the endangered insect. The map would have shrunk the insect's range by 25 percent in Oklahoma, using spatial models -- rather than county lines -- to determine the habitat. But the map was never used in the Keystone assessment or any other agency action, thanks to a scientific integrity complaint. News...
Canada: New TransCanada Pipeline Plan Dwarfs Keystone XL

DeSmog Canada: TransCanada Corporation announced yesterday they will proceed with plans to create a pipeline capable of shipping 1.1 million barrels per day (bpd) of oil and tar sands bitumen from western Canada to refineries and ports in Quebec and New Brunswick. Called "Energy East", this west-to-east pipeline would dwarf the oil delivery capacity of TransCanada`s proposed Keystone XL pipeline in the U.S. (830,000 bpd). The premiers of Alberta and New Brunswick declared Energy East a "nation building" pipeline....
TransCanada Ramps Up Effort to Sway U.S. on Keystone XL Project

Globe and Mail: TransCanada Corp. is seeking to bolster its case with U.S. President Barack Obama for the long-delayed Keystone XL oil pipeline, firing off a laundry list of reasons the company says the contentious project will have minimal influence on rising North American greenhouse gas emissions. TransCanada sent data from various studies on Canadian oil sands, carbon intensity and power used by pipelines to the U.S. State Department in response to Mr. Obamas recent remarks that elevated climate impact to...
