Keystone XL

Keystone XL was a proposed oil pipeline intended to transport crude oil from Canada's oil sands in Alberta to refineries in Texas. It aimed to create jobs and improve energy infrastructure but faced controversy over environmental and climate concerns. Critics argued it would increase greenhouse gas emissions and threaten ecosystems, while supporters claimed it would boost economic growth and energy security. Despite years of debate, the project was officially canceled in 2021 by the Biden administration, citing environmental risks and changing priorities. The pipeline's cancellation marked a significant decision in the ongoing discussion about fossil fuel infrastructure and climate policy.
