My girlfriend works as an environmental consultant for the Keystone XL project. She spends 13-hour days ensuring that the pipeline's route does not interfere with cultural sites, animal migration, water bodies and many other factors. She and her team will spend weeks re-routing if it means mitigating an environmental risk. Is the project infallible? No. But I would think twice before jumping on the bandwagon to oppose it categorically because of what people are saying on Facebook and Twitter. While I'm not privy to behind-the-scenes details, I've witnessed first-hand and been very impressed by the project's commitment to safety.
