The Wicked Brew That Would Be Transported in the Keystone XL Pipeline The pipeline isn't for oil, it's for a toxic fossil fuel cocktail called “DilBit

There is still an aquifir in Texas that produces water for many states around it. If Tar sands becomes a leak then there goes our water. Our lake for the water usage in Corpus practically empty. We had a good rain yesterday, but that brought our collection to the plus side for the first time in maybe over a year. If Alberta screws up our water supply then we have no where else to go to replace it.*%%*

The Alberta tar sands in Canada, like tar sands everywhere, do not contain oil. The near-solid bitumen in tar sands can be turned into a high-sulfur content oil by treatment with toxic chemicals, heat, and pressure. The Keystone XL pipeline is designed to transport over 700,000 barrels of hot tar sands oil under pressure every day, from Canada across the heartland of the United States to Gulf Coast refineries, from whence it will mostly go to overseas markets, especially China.

The massive exploitation of Alberta tar sands may be the biggest environmental crime in history and a new benchmark for sacrifice of public health to corporate profit.
