Why is Keystone XL bad?
Keystone XL and Wildlife No matter how you look at it, Keystone XL would be bad for wildlife, especially endangered species. Many imperiled species live along the proposed pipeline’s path and in areas where tar-sands oil is produced. If the pipeline were built, it would decimate habitat these species rely on.
Does the XL pipeline leak?
On Oct. 29, 2019, a nearly 400,000-gallon oil spill was discovered in the Keystone pipeline system in North Dakota. Keystone XL would bring tar sands oil from Alberta through North Dakota all the way to the Gulf Coast in Texas.
Why pipeline is so dangerous?
Wipeouts can be dangerous in the early seconds of the ride because you can easily hit the reef if you go over the falls. The treacherous Pipe reef is primarily made of lava rock. It’s a blend of volcanic sediments and recently formed coral. When waves move rapidly from deep to shallow waters, a perfect barrel is born.
