Keystone Pipeline Pros And Cons

To indroduce, "the government of Canada granted approval for the Trans Mountain Expansion Project to proceed with 157 conditions (NEB)." The project includes a lot of infomation for operating. "The project proposes to expand the existing Trans Mountain pipeline system between Edmonton, AB and Burnaby, BC ,and this project includes approximately 987 km of new pipeline ,and there is new and modified facilities such as pump stations and tanks and reactivate 193 km of existing pipeline (NEB)." Moreover, this project increases the capacity of shipping from 300,000 barrels per day to 980,000 barrels per day, which brings a lot of benefits to Canadian economy (NEB). Therefore, the approval of this project not only contains many economic benefits

What do you think about the Dakota Access Pipeline? The Dakota Access Pipeline (D.A.P.L) is for crude oil, but it crosses a body of water. If the pipeline were to break it could have catastrophic consequences to the water source it crosses. The pipeline should be built because although it has disadvantages, it also has many advantages that could help the U.S. have cleaner air.

After reading more and more about the debate on the Dakota Access pipeline, there is just so many benefits and loses that would happen if the pipeline continues. The negatives are mainly historical land that is precious to the Native Americans. There has been lots of fights and lots of riots going on in the area. What really needs to be done is have a sample taken over the population of the Native Americans and the public people. A sample is a number of individuals or cases drawn from a larger population. This was learned in chapter six. This would almost act like a jury in a court where there is a random sample of people chosen to make the decision. This decision could be on what happens with the pipeline. This could be a great outcome in

The Dakota Access Pipeline needs to be stopped. Recently, Bernie Sanders called upon the Obama administration to cease the Dakota Access Pipeline, if he can ask that of Obama, why can’t either of the presidential candidates. It’s appalling to find out that Clinton hasn’t said a word. This is big news in the country right now. Native Americans from all over the United States have never come together, not in a 100 years, like they have for the Dakota Access Pipeline protest. This pipeline sparked up enough for that to happen, so shouldn’t something be done.

The Dakota Access Pipeline a controversy for many not just in North Dakota but around the U.S Should the construction continue, or due to extreme circumstances should it be halted immediately. This paper will go over all of the key facts about the Dakota Access Pipeline. How the pipeline is going to affect the environment, the production of oil and greenhouse gasses, the violence, and the fate for the U.S. if we violate sacred treaties.

This bill is very well written, and I find no major issue that would cause me not to support it. Our country needs the Keystone XL Pipeline, and so the sooner, the better. While some people may argue that the Keystone XL will be used to transport Canadian oil to the United States to only then be exported to China and other countries. In fact, it’s really a supply line to U.S. Gulf Coast refineries, which will refine the received oil into gasoline, aviation fuels, and diesel fuels for U.S. consumption. The fact of the matter is, our country will still need to import oil to meet our own domestic demand for years in the future, despite its growing oil production. Using Canadian Oil will displace more expensive crude oils that are coming from less

Some people believe that the president should not approve the construction because of what could happen to so many people and the wellbeing of our country.

Since 1532, Native Americans have been subjected to American influence. From engaging in treaties to developing a dependency on the reservations, they have a long history of fighting for political, environmental, and human rights. For instance, the Sac and Fox tribe currently battle the Keystone XL project, a major threat to their right to live peacefully and securely. The lead in this project, TransCanada, a Canadian oil company, plans to insert a 1,661 mile crude oil pipeline that runs from Alberta, Canada to Texas, crossing numerous Indian reservations and threatening their natural resources. While Americans benefit from the additional access to oil, it raises issues of water contamination and disturbance to sacred sites and wildlife habitats. Along with these negative impacts, the tribe also lacks inclusion and representation in this proposal. Therefore, the proposed Keystone XL project is not justified because of its intrusion on the human and land rights of the Sac and Fox tribe, which are

Imagine living in the area where the Dakota Access Pipeline might be built. The pipeline would take up your land illegally, contaminate your only drinking source, and ruin the air quality causing extreme health problems, making for an awful life. The Dakota Pipeline is one of the most devastating projects that will ruin this country, and it's economy. It will destroy the rich, American soil so many of us have begun a new life on, forcing citizens of a free country to relocate. Then, it will bring the United States deeper into debt, and cause major problems in the health of so many living around the pipeline.

The Keystone XL pipeline would do little in reducing the United States dependency on Middle Eastern oil, which is actually goal established by president Obama for the sake of national security and economic growth. Another issue is that the out of the 42,000 jobs TransCanada has claimed the new pipeline will create, an analysis done by the State Department disagrees and claims “The proposed Project would generate approximately 50 jobs during operations.” All the harmful effects that the pipeline would have on the environment and the public health is not worth the creation of merely 50 permanent

The Keystone XL Pipeline Project has many pros and cons just as any project does, but this project has way bigger cons than most projects this country will face today. “The Keystone XL Pipeline is an environmental crime in progress.” “It’s also been called the most destructive project on the planet.” The major issues with the Keystone XL Pipeline are “the dirty tar sands oil, the water waste, indigenous populations, refining tar sands oil and don’t forget the inevitable; pipeline spills.” And these are just some of the environmental issues, not too mention how building this thing from Canada to Texas; 2,100 miles to be exact, is affecting the people and their land, as stated “this isn’t a little tiny pipeline,

The Team Pennsylvania Foundation (2011) reported that statewide results of the Keystone exam given to all students revealed that 61% of all students taking the Keystone Algebra 1 assessment scored either below basic or basic, 64% of all students taking the Biology Keystone exam scored basic or below basic, and 49.7% of all students taking the Literature Keystone exam did not meet the state expectation for proficiency. In Pennsylvania, the Keystone exam is the final measure in a series of exams that measure how students progress as measured against state expectations. The simple fact is they are not measuring up (Team Pennsylvania Foundation, 2011). Schools need to develop a system to meet students where they are and provide quality instruction

With an increasing global population and ever industrializing society 's, environmental concern is rarely given priority over economic incentive. But what people fail to realize is that our environmental failures, and relative apathy about it set up a plethora of problems for future generations to deal with. One of the most important decisions president Obama will face in the next year will be whether or not to approve the building of the Keystone XL pipeline, a massively sized, and massively controversial oil pipeline that would stretch all the way from Alberta Canada, to American oil refineries along the Gulf Of Mexico. Despite the economic incentive present, the building of the Keystone XL pipeline should not happen because of the

Humans need fresh water to live a healthy life. However, the Dakota Access Pipeline may take away the fresh water from the people who live downstream of the Missouri River and people at the Standing Rock Sioux. This will affect 8 million people downstream, this pipeline is an oil pipeline that will allow America to export oil cost efficiently. The Dakota Access Pipeline is approximately 1,172 miles 30- inch diameter pipeline that will start from North Dakota to Illinois. This pipeline has sponsors from 17 companies including 4 Japanese banks. However, the mass media companies had ignored topics related to the Dakota Access Pipeline. Until recently a famous actress Shailene Woodley got arrested for trespassing the area. However, this is not

“The Keystone XL (KXL) Project is a proposed 36-inch-diameter crude oil pipeline, beginning in Hardisty, Alberta, and extending south to Steele City, Nebraska. This pipeline is a critical infrastructure project for the economic strength and energy security of the United States.” ( http://www.keystone-xl.com/)
