Stop the Keystone XL Pipeline
What's At Stake
The Keystone XL tar sands pipeline would send a flood of toxic tar sands oil—one of the dirtiest fuels in the world—through America’s heartland.
It would threaten our land, our drinking water, and our communities from Montana and Nebraska to the Gulf Coast. It would drive catastrophic climate change. And it would be a giveaway to oil companies that would force the American people to pay the price for generations to come.
On his very first day in office, President Biden revoked the Keystone XL’s cross-border permit that then-President Trump had granted in his illegal efforts to get the pipeline built at all costs. This is a promising first step but there’s much work ahead for the Biden/Harris administration and the many fighting to end this awful project, including farmers, ranchers, tribes, and conservation groups. NRDC and our partners will continue using the courts to fight this unlawfully approved pipeline.
It’s up to all of us to mobilize a worldwide outcry and show that the world stands united against the climate-wrecking Keystone XL and the expansion of dirty tar sands.
