Description:
The Keystone XL Pipeline is project under proposal that would cover 1,179 miles(or 1,897km), with a 36 inch diameter, stretching from Hardesty, Alberta(Canada) to Steele City, Nebraska. Why is this so important in today’s day in age? It’s critical because it adds vital link between the United States and Canada, for the U.S. to extract crude oil and reduce it’s dependence on foreign oil. Adding to the benefit from bringing in oil from Canada, it will also improve the transportation of oil from Montana and North Dakota throughout the country. The project is being led by TransCanada. While the pipeline has yet to be built, it’s estimated that construction will begin in 2015. “The pipeline will have capacity to transport 830,000 barrels of oil per day to Gulf Coast and Midwest refineries, reducing American dependence on oil from Venezuela and the Middle East by up to 40 per cent.” This is crucial, because our dependence on oil from the Middle East has caused our country great strife with political unrest and violence spurring in the Middle East..without firm knowledge that the area in the Middle East will remain peaceful, oil prices have no way of staying stagnant.
