More Details

“While the focus of these reviews is the pipeline’s direct impacts to water crossings, the factors being considered and that public comments can address are more broad and general, including: 

  • Is Keystone XL in the “public interest”? 

    1. Does Keystone XL serve “in general the needs and welfare of the people”?

    2. Pipeline Safety, Oil Spills & Environmental Concerns, Water Quality

    3. Climate Change 

    4. Cultural Values 

    5. Economics
