Keystone XL Pipeline

The Keystone XL Pipeline is a proposed oil pipeline that would transport crude oil from Canada to refineries in the United States. It was designed to extend the existing Keystone pipeline system. The project has generated significant debate due to concerns about environmental impacts, such as potential oil spills and greenhouse gas emissions, versus the economic benefits, including job creation and energy security. After years of environmental reviews and political discussions, the Biden administration canceled the project in 2021, citing environmental protections and climate change considerations as key reasons for the decision.
