Printed summary: KXL will not directly create 100,000+ jobs but 3,900 short-term and 50 longer ones. KXL will not produce billions in corporate tax revenues, due to tax loopholes. KXL will not be safe from disastrous leaks, but it will be exempt from a key disaster insurance fund, which puts taxpayers on the hook for billions of dollars. KXL will not make America energy independent; and, in fact, most of the tar sands oil is planned for export from the Gulf via tankers to foreign countries. KXL will not be climate neutral -- in spite of claims in an industry-linked report to the State Department -- but it will speed climate change and global instability.
