Dear NRDC Activist,
It happened again.
Just two weeks ago, the Keystone Pipeline leaked over 378,000 gallons of
toxic tar sands crude — the "dirtiest oil on the planet" — into a wetland
in North Dakota.
This was the twenty-first time Keystone has spilled on American soil since
2010.
Yet, despite this, the Trump administration is moving forward with plans
to build another tar sands pipeline, the infamous, ill-fated Keystone XL —
which would carry even more dirty, dangerous tar sands oil through
America's heartland.
Trump's State Department just published an updated draft Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) for Keystone XL. They're accepting public comments
on this review until November 18.
[ [link removed] ]Take a stand NOW: Submit an official public comment reminding President
Trump of overwhelming public opposition to the disastrous Keystone XL
pipeline.
The Keystone XL tar sands pipeline would carry 830,000 barrels per day of
dirty tar sands crude oil from Canada's boreal forests through the heart
of America to the Gulf of Mexico.
The North Dakota tar sands spill is just the latest incident casting
serious doubts on whether tar sands can ever be safely transported or
cleaned up when spilled.
The Keystone XL pipeline is also a ticking climate time bomb. Tar sands
crude oil releases significantly more greenhouse gas than conventional
oil, so this pipeline would pull us further away from a clean energy
future — and derail progress in the fight against climate change.
This pipeline would be devastating to our environment and wildlife, to our
global climate and drinking water supplies, and to local and Indigenous
communities. We cannot allow this dangerous project to ever see the light
of day.
[ [link removed] ]Stand with NRDC and the millions of Americans who oppose dirty energy —
tell the Trump administration to stop Keystone XL.
NRDC and our partner groups have been fighting, and winning, against
Keystone XL for over a decade. Overwhelming public opposition convinced
President Obama to reject the pipeline in 2015. But President Trump — at
the behest of his oil industry patrons — is trying to bring it back from
the dead.
Last year we won several federal court victories that blocked construction
on Keystone XL. The court ruled that the Trump State Department's original
environmental review was flawed and outdated, and required the State
Department to issue this new draft environmental review. But the State
Department's analysis can't hide what we already know: Keystone XL would
be a disaster for our planet.
We will keep fighting tooth-and-nail for as long as it takes to kill the
Keystone XL pipeline. But right now, we need concerned NRDC activists to
send a message to the Trump administration that it should scrap this
dangerous project once and for all.
[ [link removed] ]Can we count on you to add your voice to this crucial fight?
Sincerely,
