Return on Keystone XL debate stands amid tar sands concerns
Quentin Wagenfield argues economic gains from the Keystone XL pipeline outweigh environmental risks. He cites Gov Heineman’s support for rerouting, state and federal job and revenue figures, refinery capacity, and CO2 considerations, noting NASA and university studies on emissions and temperatures. Heimenan is cited with oil supply angles. Wagenfield concludes polluting risk is manageable if oil is not diverted to China.
