Umm No. The Keystone XL pipeline is already part of an existing transnational network, segmented into phases that cross Canada and the United States. The focus of the Keystone debate was the proposed fourth phase, which would transport heavy oil sands crude from Hardisty in Alberta, Canada to Steele City, Nebraska via Montana with a capacity of 830,000 barrels per day (bpd). Some estimates suggest that this would have reduced American dependence on Venezuelan and Middle Eastern heavy crude imports by 40%.
