TransCanada (a Canadian company) applied to the U.S. Department of
State for a permit to cross the U.S.-Canada International border
with the Keystone XL pipeline project in 2008. If constructed, the
pipeline would carry crude oil produced from the oil sands regions
of Alberta, Canada, to U.S. Gulf Coast refineries. Because the
pipeline would connect the United States with a foreign country, it
requires a Presidential Permit issued by the State Department.
Issuance of a Presidential Permit requires a finding that the
project would serve the "national interest." This book describes
the Keystone XL pipeline proposal and the process required for
federal approval. It summarises key arguments for and against the
pipeline put forth by the pipeline's developers, federal agencies,
environmental groups, and other stakeholders. Also discussed is the
constitutional basis for the State Department's authority to issue
a Presidential Permit, and opponents' possible challenges to this
authority.
