Keystone

The debate over the keystone pipe line has been going on for more than four years, before Obama's presidency even started. The plan was to set up a massive pipeline system is designed to carry up to 830,000 barrels of petroleum per day from the oil sands of forests in western Canada through the central united states to oil processing plants in the gulf of mexico, this is supported and funded by an Canadian oil company. Pro's to the Keystone pipeline included trading partners with Canada, an increase in profit, and its a state of the art pipeline which is a more effective and efficient way of transporting oil then by oil tankers, trains, and diesel trucks. Some cons are that the pipe line can be extremely dangerous and environment threatening  to the farming fields thorough central us which has already had a decrease in crop production as of last year.
