Keystone XL Pipeline Case Study

In my opinion, authorizing the Keystone XL pipeline would be damaging to the environment. Displace residents from their home or property if it obstructs the construction of the pipeline. And lastly, will only cause a short term economic benefit to the working class who seek long term employment not a seasonal position.
The construction of the Keystone Xl pipeline will be detrimental to the environment because it will disperse greenhouse gases into the atmosphere from the extraction of tar sand. The tar sands oil production has higher levels of carbon dioxide emissions than that of conventional oil. Burning the tar sand oil will increase the earth temperature, resulting in powerful storms such as hurricanes and tornadoes. This kind of pollution will have detrimental effects on our eco system, from potential oil spill or even worse a catastrophic explosion. The release of harmful toxins into earth environment can increase health risks for nature’s inhabitants.
The pipelines construction is unethical for it will result in
Acknowledging the venture will only seek temporary employment, predominantly in the field of construction. The development is projected to finish in less than 2 years. Once finished, TransCanada, the company who is in charge will lay off the majority of its staff as they are no longer needed. Those who were depended on employment from TransCanada will have to endure financial hardship and unemployment. This is not what America stands for nor should it nor should it empower a foreigner company with the ability to use the American workforce as they please.
In conclusion, I believe the Keystone XL Pipeline would be a bad investment for America as it will cause negative externalities, displace residents from their homes and property and minimal employment once the construction of the pipelines
