Keystone isn't any normal pipeline. It would pump tar sands oil, one
of the dirtiest fuels on Earth. Adding more tar sands oil to our
energy mix would accelerate climate change, put our health at risk for
generations, and tarnish our international reputation.
Tar sands are a sticky mixture of oil, sediment, and other compounds
that requires lots of energy to extract and refine. According to the
State Department’s analysis of the Keystone project, Canadian tar
sands oil produces 17 percent more carbon pollution on its journey from
the ground to a tailpipe or smoke stack than the average crude we use.
