Tell the Army Corps: Deny the Keystone XL Permit

The Trump administration and TC Energy are attempting to move forward with construction on the disastrous Keystone XL tar sands pipeline yet again.

TC Energy has just reapplied for a permit that will allow them to construct the KXL pipeline across hundreds of U.S. waterways — jeopardizing clean water access for rural, urban, and Indigenous communities and putting nearly one-third of U.S. crops at risk.

KXL is a ticking climate time bomb that would shackle us for decades to the dirty fossil fuels of the past instead of moving us toward a clean energy future. And the Trump administration’s attempts to resurrect and rush the approvals for KXL are an act of environmental racism against the Indigenous communities that live around KXL’s proposed route.

NRDC stands at the ready to challenge this — and any other effort to resurrect KXL — just as we and our allies have done all along. But in the meantime, the Army Corps of Engineers is accepting public comments on this new permit request, and we need to flood their inbox with messages of opposition.

Please, submit an urgent public comment stating your opposition to KXL right away!

I urge you to reject the Keystone XL water permits

(Consider adding your own thoughts — personalized messages are especially effective)

Dear public officials:

I urge you to reject TC Energy's water permit applications for the proposed Keystone XL tar sands pipeline.

Keystone XL will threaten our land and drinking water supplies and keep us shackled to the fossil fuels of the past -- at a time when we must transition to clean and renewable energy and save our planet from climate catastrophe. Tar sands oil spills are nearly impossible to clean up, and the proposed route for KXL would pass through a critical aquifer in Nebraska that irrigates nearly one-third of U.S. crops.

Furthermore, the Trump administration has violated the sovereign rights of Indigenous communities by setting up KXL labor camps on their land -- a clear act of environmental racism.

The courts have consistently ruled against the Trump administration's attempts to resurrect KXL for good reason: This project is too dangerous to ever see the light of day.

Please reject these permits and abandon the Keystone XL pipeline at once. Any further attempts to proceed with this pipeline will be met with swift opposition from me and millions of Americans across the country.
