This pipeline is being challenged by the Alberta Federation of Labour and is now approved to help offset the increased capacity needed for the Tar Sands to continue to grow, such as the recently approved Kearl Project-- now Federally litigated against by groups such as the Pembina Institute and Sierra Legal. Stop these pipelines and stop the tar sands; Stop the tar sands and stop the Keystone pipeline. Imperial Oil is also pushing for the Mackenzie Gas Project, where the energy would help this Kearl Project send oil into the Keystone pipeline. Break the chain and stop them all.

A thousand-mile cross-country oil pipeline is making its way across central Nebraska.
The $2.1 billion Keystone Oil Pipeline will run from Alberta, Canada through Nebraska, and end at Cushing, Okla. The pipeline will have the capacity to transport over 400,000 barrels of crude oil per day to refineries in Illinois, Oklahoma and the Gulf Coast.
The oil is extracted from oil-sand mined in Canada.
