[5] Pipelines in the Keystone Pipeline System go through stress tests prior to use. Later, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) found that a metal tracked vehicle had run over the area, damaging the pipeline. [174], Pipeline opponents warn of disruption of farms and ranches during construction,[176] and point to damage to water mains and sewage lines sustained during construction of an Enbridge crude oil pipeline in Michigan. NRDC advocates were part of a broad coalition that helped stop Keystone XLfor good. [240], On December 7, 2022, TC Energy in Canada initiated a shutdown of the Keystone Pipeline System in response to a 9PM Eastern Time alarm signaling a loss in pressure. There is thorough research or proper facts to back the claims made by the company. While American Petroleum Institute has stated that this project will create jobs for over half a million American people, the truth is these are all false claims. When industry-friendly politicians took charge of both congressional houses in January 2015, their first order of business was to pass a bill to speed up approval of Keystone XL. [157] Diane Francis has argued that much of the opposition to the oil sands actually comes from foreign countries such as Nigeria, Venezuela, and Saudi Arabia, all of whom supply oil to the United States and who could be affected if the price of oil drops due to the new availability of oil from the pipeline. [271], On January 19, 2012, TransCanada announced it may shorten the initial path to remove the need for federal approval. [1][2][3], The Keystone Pipeline System spans from the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin in Alberta to refineries in Texas. This story was originally published on April 7, 2017, and has been updated with new information and links. [260] Girling maintained that the EPA's conclusions "are not supported by the facts outlined in the Final SEIS or actual observations of the marketplace". Even worse, building Keystone XL would have meant enduring those risks just to send the fuel to our overseas rivalsand the profits to Big Oil. It is unclear how much of the oil transported through the pipeline would have reached American consumers instead of being exported to other countries. The statement of creating half a million jobs and millions of dollars in tax revenue for states is a diplomatic strategy to build support and turn opposition into their favor. U.S. Coast Guard Petty Officer Second Class Lauren Jorgensen. [197] Protesters called on President Obama to reject the planned pipeline extension when deciding the fate of the pipeline after Secretary of State John Kerry completes a review of the project.[198]. [136] On October 4, 2012, 78-year-old Texas landowner Eleanor Fairchild was arrested for criminal trespassing and other charges after she was accused of standing in front of pipeline construction equipment on Fairchild's farm in Winnsboro, a town about 100 miles (160km) east of Dallas. The suit was thrown out by a federal judge on procedural grounds, ruling that the NRDC lacked the authority to bring it. The oil in the Lac-Mgantic rail cars came from the Bakken Formation in North Dakota, an area that would be served by the Keystone expansion. December 2022: More than half a million . A fourth, proposed pipeline expansion segment Phase IV, Keystone XL, failed to receive necessary permits from the United States federal government in 2015. The Keystone pipeline spill in a creek running through rural pastureland in Washington County, Kansas, about 150 miles (240 kilometers) northwest of Kansas City, also was the biggest in the system . If anything happens on the Keystone XL Pipeline, rapid response is key. The decision echoed a seven-year State Department review process with EPA input that concluded the pipeline would fail to serve national interests. [53], The US Gulf Coast has a large concentration of refineries designed to process very heavy crude oil. Republicans delayed delivering the bill over the Presidents Day holiday weekend to ensure Congress would be in session if the president were to veto the bill. [170][dead link] In January 2015, Senate Republicans blocked a vote on an amendment proposed by Senator Edward J. Markey, which would have banned exports from the Keystone XL pipeline and required that the pipeline be built with steel from the United States. Keystone started pumping oil through this section in January 2014. Leaks and spills from Keystone XL and other tar sands and conventional crude pipelines could put existing jobs at risk. [70] The application was granted consideration. These spills could release as much as 180,000 barrels (29,000m3) of oil each."[223]. [169], In October 2009, a suit was filed by the Natural Resources Defense Council that challenged the pipeline on the grounds that its permit was based on a deficient environmental impact statement. [4][5][107] Oil producers in the U.S. pushed for this phase so the glut of oil can be distributed out of the large oil tank farms and distribution center in Cushing. [81][82], In June 2019, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit granted the Justice Department's motion to lift the injunction blocking construction and found that the new permit mooted the prior Montana lawsuit. [230][235] In April 2018, a federal investigation found that 408,000 US gallons (1,540m3) of crude had spilled at the site, almost twice what TransCanada had reported. However, the reports conducted by the authorities were a complete sham, and there was nothing reasonable in them. Leading climate scientist and former NASA researcher James Hansen has warned that fully exploiting Canadas tar sands reserves by moving forward with these projects would mean game over for our climate. In 2013, the first two phases had the capacity to deliver up to 590,000 barrels (94,000m3) per day of oil into the Midwest refineries. The 1,200-mile pipeline would have traveled southeast through nine South Dakota counties. [62] The Keystone XL Pipeline bill was not officially sent to President Obama, starting the official ten-day count towards the bill becoming law without presidential signature, until February 24, 2015. We will [216], In May 2013 Republicans in the House of Representatives defended the Northern Route Approval Act, which would allow for congressional approval of the pipeline, on the grounds that the pipeline created jobs and energy independence. [6][16], On January 24, 2017, in his first week in office, President Donald Trump signed a presidential memorandum to revive both Keystone XL pipelines,[70][71] which "would transport more than 800,000 barrels [130,000m3] per day of heavy crude" from Alberta to the Gulf Coast. The United States' decision to buy less oil from Venezuela is the key reason the. Keystone XL - is a proposed pipeline of approx 1,179 miles that would join the existing channel to improve oil flow and save on transportation costs. [15][3], On June 3, 2011, Pipeline Hazardous Materials and Safety Administration (PHMSA) issued TransCanada a Corrective Action Order (CAO), for Keystone's May 2011 leaks. The oil leak is the largest seen from the Keystone pipeline in the state. The truth is Keystone 1 project has failed to achieve its targets and is, in fact, nowhere around what the company promised during its initial stage. [194][195] The event featured Lennox Yearwood; Chief Jacqueline Thomas, immediate past chief of the Saik'uz First Nation; Van Jones; Crystal Lameman, of Beaver Lake Cree Nation; Michael Brune, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), and others as invited speakers. Oil trains wont get better brakes, air conditioners wont get safer chemicals, and children lose their EPA advocate. [110][202], On November 10, 2011, the Department of State postponed a final decision while investigating "potential alternative routes around the Sandhills in Nebraska" in response to concerns that the project was not in the United States' national interest.[54]. Throughout the process, the US government and officials from the department of energy are seen favoring the project and a special group of people. [51][76][needs update], In November 2018, U.S. District Judge Brian Morris (District of Montana) enjoined construction of the pipeline and vacated the new permit because the policy reversal violated the Administrative Procedure Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, and the Endangered Species Act. By that point, Keystone XL faced an unfriendly administration, numerous legal challenges, declining oil prices, worsening climate impacts, and a growing movement of climate organizersalong the pipelines route and around the worldunwilling to look the other way. Tar sands oil is thicker, more acidic, and more corrosive than lighter conventional crude, and this ups the likelihood that a pipeline carrying it will leak. On June 9, 2021, TC Energy abandoned plans for the Keystone XL Pipeline. [31]:5[101] The pipeline system was originally developed as a partnership between TransCanada and ConocoPhillips, but TransCanada announced plans to buy ConocoPhillips' interest in Keystone in June 2009. [68] Looking at the spills incidents that happened in the past few years, the answer is a resounding yes. Thats up nearly threefold from a decade ago, and an amount equal to 42 percent of our consumption. [29] Later that year, TransCanada began the process of becoming the sole owner of the pipeline. At every turn, the Tar Sands Invasion would put people and the environment in harm's way. Despite a court order to reassess the Dakota Access Pipelines environmental impact, the agency wont share the results of its new study. Apart from this, I have knowledge of local listing. The oil flow was stopped on Wednesday, December 7 just seven minutes after a leak was discovered. [citation needed], From January 2018 through December 31, 2019, Keystone XL development costs were $1.5 billion. [230], On November 17, 2017, the pipeline leaked around 9,600 barrels (1,530m3)[231] onto farmland near Amherst, South Dakota. [59], On February 24, 2015, President Obama vetoed a bill that approved the construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline, saying that the decision of approval should rest with the Executive Branch. [250], In September 2011, Joe Oliver, Canada's Minister of Natural Resources, sharply criticized opponents of oil sands development in a speech to the Canadian Club of Toronto, arguing that oil sands account for about 0.1% of global greenhouse-gas emissions, coal power plants powered in the U.S. generate almost 40 times more greenhouse-gas emissions than Canada's oil sands and California bitumen is more GHG-intensive than the oil sands. TransCanada nearly doubled its construction estimates in October 2007, from $2.8-billion (U.S.) to $5.2-billion. But environmental. [notes 1][25] Phase III was opened on January 22, 2014, completing the pipeline path from Hardisty, Alberta to Nederland, Texas. [74] This proved to be a major setback for TransCanada since they would have "years of new review and legal challenges". According to Gas Buddy, the average price of a gallon of . Fact: KXL will Threaten the Ogallala Aquifer, Smaller oil pipeline to cross Ogallala Aquifer, "TransCanada Wins as Obama Keystone Permit Seen", "Keystone XL pipeline: Obama rejects controversial project", "TransCanada proposes new Keystone XL route in Nebraska", "Exclusive: State Dept. [112], On January 20, 2021, President Joe Biden revoked the permit for the pipeline on his first day in office. With relation to the Estes article, there is concern by indigenous people that the Keystone Pipeline can lead to a similar type of destruction. Pipeline spills can also result in significant economic and employment costs, although the systematic tracking of the social, health, and economic impacts of pipeline spills is not required by law. [201] Critics say that a major leak could ruin drinking water and devastate the mid-western U.S. The projects corporate backerthe Canadian energy infrastructure company TC Energyofficially abandoned the project in June 2021 following President Joe Bidens denial of a key permit on his first day in office. [86][87], In March 2020, the Premier of Alberta Jason Kenney, who campaigned on promoting the province's oil and gas industry and has promoted it by repealing the carbon tax and establishing an energy war room (Canadian Energy Centre),[88][89][90][91] announced that the UCP government was taking an "equity stake" and providing a "loan guarantee", which amounts to a "total financial commitment of just over $7 billion" to the Keystone XL project. [12] The Keystone XL pipeline segments were intended to allow American crude oil to enter the XL pipelines at Baker, Montana, on their way to the storage and distribution facilities at Cushing, Oklahoma. Initially, President Obama put this project on hold, but Donald Trump turned it and gave it a green flag. In turn, it will impact Americas energy security and its economy by lowering energy prices. For more than a decade, we've fought to keep this filthy fossil fuel from being dredged up and piped through the United States. [183], Bill McKibben, environmental and global warming activist and founder of 350.org, the group that organized the 2009 international protestsdescribed by CNN as "the most widespread day of political action in the planet's history"led the opposition to the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline. [8] This phase generated the greatest controversy because of its routing over the Sandhills in Nebraska. Innovations in fracking had increased domestic production of oil and, according to the EIA, reduced annual demand of oil from foreign countries to an all-time low since 1985. However, people, environmental activities, and organizations working on climate change strongly oppose this project. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety. As per the analysis report conducted by Cornell Universitys Global Labor Institute, these job claims are nothing but mere fabrications. Later, fossil fuel companies funnelled millions into Trumps 2017 inauguration ceremony, days after which he brought the Keystone XL project back from the dead, and ramped up federal lobbying efforts in the first months of his administration. In the instance of the Keystone XL pipeline, there have been many protests and actions taken against the construction of the pipeline. This Keystone XL project will bring oil from Canadas oil sands to Gulf Coast in Texas. When that failedthanks to a lawsuit brought by NRDC and other groupsTrump reissued the cross-border permit himself. [206] The Pioneer crude oil pipeline crosses eastwest across Nebraska, and the Pony Express pipeline, which crosses the Ogallala Aquifer in Colorado, Nebraska, and Kansas, was being converted as of 2013 from natural gas to crude oil, under a permit from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. [15] Phase III has capacity to deliver up to 700,000 barrels (110,000m3) per day to the Texas refineries. As the debates go on about this Keystone XL project being the biggest threat to the US, here are some common myths and facts you need to know about this project. [26][42][43], In June 2010, Keystone Pipeline (Phase I) was completed and was delivering oil from Hardisty, Alberta, over 3,456 kilometres (2,147mi) to the junction at Steele City, Nebraska, and on to Wood River Refinery in Roxana, Illinois, and Patoka Oil Terminal Hub north of Patoka, Illinois. [258] The EPA suggested that the State Department should "revisit" its prior conclusions in light of the drop in oil prices. [35] The leak lasted for several minutes, with no initial reports of damage to water sources or wildlife. It would have sliced through Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma to the Texas Gulf Coast, delivering 830,000 barrels of tar sands oil per day. [280], In June 2012, Sierra Club, Clean Energy Future Oklahoma, and the East Texas Sub Regional Planning Commission filed a joint complaint in the United States District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma seeking injunctive relief and petitioning for a review of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' action in issuing Nationwide Permit 12 permits for the Cushing, Oklahoma, to the Gulf Coast portion of the pipeline. [228][229], In 2016, about 400 barrels (64m3) were released from the original Keystone pipe network via leaks, which federal investigators said resulted from a "weld anomaly". Indeed, moving crude by rail to the Gulf costs substantially more than moving it by pipe. [58] [190][191] On October 31, 2012, Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein was arrested in Texas for criminal trespass after trying to deliver food and supplies to the Keystone XL protesters. CVR alleged that the final tolls for the Canadian segment of the pipeline were 146% higher than initially presented, while the tolls for the U.S. segment were 92% higher. [281], In early January 2016, TransCanada announced it would initiate an ISDS claim under NAFTA against the United States, seeking $15 billion in damages and calling the denial of a permit for Keystone XL "arbitrary and unjustified". The Tribes are asking the court to rescind the illegal issuance of the Keystone XL pipeline presidential permit.[199], Environmental concerns include the potential for air pollution, and for leaks and spills, that could pollute critical water supplies and cause harm to migratory birds and other wildlife. [6] The Environmental Protection Agency dispatched two coordinators, who determined there was no impact to drinking water in the Washington County area. Indigenous communities are also concerned with health risks posed by the extension of the Keystone pipeline.

(April 10, 2016). It is also predicted that this project will create only a few full-time jobs for steel workers during its construction period. "All U.S. In this case, people willing, hopeful, almost dying for him to be the Barack Obama of 2008. [44] One of the major concerns was the way in which the original route crossed the Sandhills, the large wetland ecosystem in Nebraska, and the Ogallala Aquifer, one of the largest reserves of fresh water in the world. [184], In the year before the 2012 United States presidential election, McKibben and other activists mounted pressure on then-President Obama, who was running for re-election. However, current US president Joe Biden has now opposed the project by canceling permits of this project. [39] The pipeline, from Hardisty, Alberta, Canada, to Patoka, Illinois, United States, became operational in June 2010. [40] Phase 1 went online in June 2010. [257] EPA concluded that due to the current relatively cheap cost of oil, companies might be less likely to set up their own developments in the oil sands. [77][78], In February 2019, District Judge Morris denied a request by TransCanada Corporation to begin constructing worker camps for pipeline although the company could begin construction of pipe storage and container yards as long as they were outside the proposed pipeline's right-of-way. [97][94] The order, however, did not affect any other present or future pipeline construction in the United States, and would be in force until the circuit court, and then the Supreme Court deliver their final rulings. [277] In late 2014 Enbridge announced it is awaiting final approval from the US State Department and expects to proceed with the last phase in mid-2015.

The . Extremist Mass Killings in 2022 Linked to Far Right . [130] Another proposed solution is TransCanada's Aboriginal Human Resource Strategy, which was developed to facilitate Aboriginal employment and to provide "opportunities for Aboriginal businesses to participate in both the construction of new facilities and the ongoing maintenance of existing facilities". But then the Trump administration would do something to undercut us outside of court. The administration also attempted to issue other permits for the project, all based on flawed environmental analyses, eventually prompting more lawsuits, including two from NRDC and its allies. It would be too expensive for the companies to ship by rail. The Keystone Pipeline System, stretching 4,324 km (2,687-miles) in length, plays a key role in delivering Canadian and U.S. crude oil supplies to markets around North America. TC Energy is applying for permits to tap the Cheyenne River, White River (South Dakota), and Bad River (South Dakota) for use during construction primarily for drilling to install pipe, to build pump stations and to control dust. Its mines are a blight on Canadas boreal, where mining operations dig up and flatten forests to access the oil below, destroying wildlife habitat and one of the worlds largest carbon sinks. [133] In this article Wood refers to the pipeline as a black snake that poses a major threat to the Sioux Nation. The revoked permit became the final nail in the pipelines coffin. [9], The price of crude oil rose 5% following the shutdown of the Keystone Pipeline, before receding. The pipeline had been projected to carry oil nearly 1,200 miles (1,900km). The Alberta government placed a $30,000 ad entitled "Keystone XL: The Choice of Reason" in. [42] It would enter the United States at Morgan, Montana, and travel through Baker, Montana, where American-produced oil would be added to the pipeline; then it would travel through South Dakota and Nebraska, where it would join the existing Keystone pipelines at Steele City, Nebraska. It was expected to transport 830,000 barrels of Alberta tar sands oil per day to refineries on the Gulf Coast of Texas. The existing Keystone pipeline travels to Port Arthur, Texas to be refined and guess what - the majority of it is exported. From here, it will be sent to different overseas markets. [99], On June 9, 2021, the Keystone XL project was abandoned by its developer. In November 2017, the Nebraska Public Service Commission approved (32) the construction of the pipeline, albeit through an alternative route which is longer, but deemed to have the least environmental impact compared to two other routes that were considered. Shifts to gasoline fuel for cargo vehicles, new technologies promoting fuel efficiency, and export restrictions that forced the price of oil to decrease also played a part. This project will certainly increase the possibility of spills through the periodic need for maintenance in the future. In cooperation with Enterprise Products Partners LP it is reversing the Seaway pipeline so that an oversupply of oil at Cushing can reach the Gulf. On January 29, 2015, the Keystone XL Pipeline was passed by the Senate 6236. [270] However, according to industries, the Seaway line alone is not enough for oil transportation to the Gulf Coast.
