Koch Bros. Role in Keystone XL tar sands pipeline: Koch - TopicsExpress



          

Koch Bros. Role in Keystone XL tar sands pipeline: Koch Industries has been involved in tar sands operations for half a century. Koch refines 25% of tar sands crude oil entering the U.S. and operates a terminal at the proposed pipelines origin in Hardisty, Alberta. Koch Industries has repeatedly denied any financial interest in TransCanadas Keystone XL pipeline. After 6 months of public insistence that Koch Industries had nothing to do with Keystone XL, news emerged that Kochs wholly-owned subsidiary Flint Hills Resources told Canadas Energy Board it has direct and substantial interest in a government filing. Koch has continued to deny any financial link to the rejected project, although Americans for Prosperity (which was founded by the Kochs, chaired by David Koch and funded by over $5.6 million from Koch foundations) bussed pipeline supporters to testify at State Department Hearings in Nebraska.
