| Pro Keystone XL Pipeline Comments Linked to Oil Industry | 11 April 14 |
In a random sample of more than 1,000 comments in support of the Keystone, about 60 percent of the commenters' names were connected to oil and pipeline company employees, investors, lobbyists, attorneys and others working for the industry–all of whom could potentially benefit from the construction of the pipeline, the activists said. If built, the pipeline would carry diluted bitumen from Canada's tar sands region to the Texas Gulf Coast. Building a pipeline that expedites and expands the world's dirtiest and most destructive oil mining project on the planet, puts landowners and precious natural resources at risk, and accelerates the release of dangerous climate-altering gasses is clearly not in the public's interest. It's in the interest of the oil industry, pure and simple.
