Pres. Obama: Reject Keystone XL Now, Before the GOP Senate Takes Over!

NASA's top climate expert says using more tar sands oil could mean "game over" for the climate, its mining process is devastating for First Nation tribes, and its pipelines are far more likely to spill and harm local communities. (The image above is from a 2013 tar sands pipeline spill in Arkansas backyards). It wouldn't even lower gas prices -- the oil will be exported to foreign countries.

This is the toxic goo that KXL would carry through America -- and this winter is our best chance to stop it once and for all.

Big Oil's favorite senators failed to approve the Keystone XL application by just ONE vote this week -- but when Republicans take over the Senate in January, they'll finally have the votes they need to skip the regular process and ram the toxic tar-sands pipeline through. That is, unless there's no longer a pending application for them to approve. President Obama must reject the tar-sands pipeline now, before the Senate changes hands!

Tell President Obama: Keep your climate promises. No more delays -- reject Keystone XL NOW!

Dear Mr. President,


The overwhelming evidence is clear: Keystone XL would be a disaster for our climate. Tar sands are one of the most carbon polluting sources of oil on the planet, and limiting tar sands expansion is critical to fighting dangerous levels of climate change. Climate scientists, energy experts, the EPA, and even Wall Street and industry analysts agree that the oil industry's plans to expand tar sands development are not possible without the Keystone XL pipeline. That means that the Keystone XL pipeline will drastically increase carbon emissions -- and Mr. President, you promised to stop the pipeline if it increases carbon emissions.


There's no way around it: approving Keystone XL is incompatible with your promise to act on climate. You alone have the power to stop this pipeline from irreparably damaging our climate for ourselves, and future generations. I urge you to stay true to your word, base your decision on the facts, and reject the climate-killing Keystone XL pipeline NOW before a Republican Senate has the chance to ram it through and further weaken our climate!
