While America Spars Over Keystone XL, A Vast Network Of Pipelines Is Quietly Being Approved
But while critics and proponents of Keystone XL have sparred over the last few years, numerous pipelines many of them slated to carry the same Canadian tar sands crude as Keystone have been proposed, permitted, and even seen construction begin in the U.S. and Canada.
