They Keystone Pipeline is a big pipeline that, once completed, will transport oil  from Alberta, Canada, to the Texas coast. Its going to be a 1700 mile long pipeline. It has faced lawsuits from oil refineries and criticism from environmentalist. It has also faced criticism from some members of the United States Congress. This could hurt the United States because it will cost 7 billion dollars, once completed. We are already in debt, 7 Billion more dollars would not help that out. Many people are protesting because of this. People say the project would damage the environment for generations. Most protests are around the white house. 10,000 opponents surround it, claiming that the pipeline will just be bad for the environment.   This is a risky method of producing dirty energy. Overall, the final decision on what will be done has not been made.
