President Donald Trump signed executive orders on Jan. 24 to expedite completion of the stalled Keystone XL (KXL) and Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) construction projects.The KXL project is an $8 billion pipeline that would extend 1,179 miles from Canada to the Texas Gulf Coast, and transport about 830,000 barrels of crude oil per day. This project was stalled by President Obama, for good reason as the pipeline will go through Native American Sioux territory.
Trump decreed that American steel would be used to build the pipelines, an initiative that he promised would create thousands of jobs for steelworkers.
This pipeline is dangerous. An oil spill from this pipeline would have affects seen for generations, not to mention, the disrespect for privatized Sioux land.
