Keystone XL is a bad deal - A dirty bitumen pipeline from Canada through American territory to a tax free Foreign Trade Zone in Texas, on the Gulf of Mexico, to be refined to diesel and shipped overseas, is not what America needs right now. Besides, Tar Sands crude is 15% more dirty in terms of carbon dioxide emissions. It is one of the dirtiest energy sources on Earth. One spill could destroy the Ogallala Aquifer, which provides more than 30% of our irrigation. Don’t let me catch you riding dirty, Mr. President. Just say no to the Keystone XL pipeline. huffingtonpost/rep-alan-grayson/the-keystone-xl-pipeline-_b_4870103.html - Florida Rep.
