"Without this pipeline Canada stays at 2 million barrels a day, with it they get 3 million barrels a day. The President has the ability to keep a million barrels of tarsands in the ground a day. With a stroke of a pen he can protect property rights, water and make a dent in climate change. This report is laughable using the wrong assumption and therefore the wrong science."
The public will have 45 days to comment on the environmental impact report, once the State Department posts a notice in the Federal Register. As the Department's March 1 [6]cover letter states[6]:
"As part of the
Department's process, members of the public, public agencies, and other
interested parties are encouraged to submit comments, questions, and concerns about
the project via e-mail to Email address removed"> Email address removed , at http://www.keystonepipeline-xl.state.gov , or mailed to:
U.S. Department of State
Attn: Genevieve Walker, NEPA Coordinator
2201 C Street NW, Room 2726
Washington, D.C. 20520
The letter further explains: "Ultimately, a determination will be made on whether this project serves the national interest. The national interest determination will involve consideration of many factors, including: energy security; environmental, cultural, and economic impacts; foreign policy; and compliance with relevant federal regulations."
There is no reference to any global interest or any other interest.
