The Keystone XL dispute - statistics & facts
In one of his first executive orders, U.S. President Joe Biden has revoked his predecessor’s approval of the Keystone XL pipeline. The long-proposed pipeline would be an addition to the already existing network of Keystone crude oil pipelines. The merits of this infrastructure project have been hotly debated by three consecutive U.S. governments and been an ongoing concern for oil industry affiliates and climate change activists. Since 2013, U.S. public support for Keystone XL markedly declined, with public opinion notably divided by political orientation.
