Giant oil pipeline in the works from Alberta to the Gulf - Environmentalists worried
Known as Keystone, the project is an expansion of an existing pipeline that now terminates in Oklahoma. Stretching over 1,600 miles -- four times the length of the Trans-Alaska system -- the new pipeline would be one of the biggest in the country.
Canada's oil sands have drawn numerous critics who say the way the oil is extracted harms the environment.
Does this explain our neglect of the Alaskan pipeline? Why not have both?
