Tell Canada: Kill Keystone XL once and for all

The Keystone XL pipeline is hanging on by a thread here in the United States after key legal victories halted construction of the disastrous project and Joe Biden’s promise to kill the KXL once he takes office.

But a recent $5 billion investment from the Alberta government and support by the Canadian government is keeping KXL alive and satisfying its developer, TC Energy—which is desperate to move the project forward.

Keystone XL would be a ticking climate time bomb that would shackle us to the dirty fossil fuels of the past for decades and derail our progress in the fight against climate change. And it would be devastating to our environment and wildlife, our drinking water supplies, and to local Indigenous communities.

Call on the Alberta and Canadian governments to end their support for this climate-busting, environmentally ruinous project and invest in clean energy immediately!

I implore you to end your support for Keystone XL immediately

Dear elected officials:

I oppose the dirty Keystone XL tar sands pipeline and I urge your government to end its support for this environmentally and financially destructive project.

Keystone XL would be a ticking climate time bomb. Tar sands crude oil releases significantly more greenhouse gas than conventional oil, so this pipeline would shackle us to the dirty fossil fuels of the past for decades and further derail progress in the fight against climate change. In fact, a recent report by the Canada Energy Regulator found that KXL is inconsistent with Canada's climate goals.

Construction of the KXL would be devastating to our environment and wildlife, to drinking water, and to Indigenous communities who live along the pipeline route--many of whom have been disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 crisis here in the US.

I urge you to reverse course at once, divest Canada fully from KXL, and increase your investments in clean energy instead. The world is counting on your leadership.

Thank you.
