2011 Presidential Permit

The 2011 Presidential Permit was an approval granted by the U.S. President that allowed the construction and operation of an international oil pipeline, known as the Keystone XL pipeline, which would run from Canada to the United States. This permit was necessary because the pipeline crosses U.S. borders, requiring federal authorization to ensure it meets safety, environmental, and national interests. The permit process involved reviewing potential impacts and strategies to address concerns related to energy security and environmental protection before approval was granted.
