keystone is in our national interest as well as its predecessor the keystone pipeline. keystone is good for the economy, jobs, tax revenue investment and. it's good for our energy security adding a more stable and secure source of energy. the state department has concluded the keystone will have a negligible impact on the environment and the oil sands will be developed one way or another. k. excel and developing the resources in north america will have a significant effect on improving our national security by adding more molecules to our mix. 65% of the american people support this pipeline. we live in a dangerous and precarious time. approving the pipeline will strengthen our economy decrease energy risks, respect their commitment to the environment while also furthering our. of bilateral relationships as it democratic ally tonight. the keystone xl pipeline is in our national interest in the words of canada's prime minister is a quote no-brainer. thank you very much. >> thank you all for your testimony. several witnesses have asked for documents to be entered into the

it's just a question of how we think about it. >> but keystone is just part of the problem. steyer says the bigger climate issue is how tar sand oil is recovered from the canadian countryside. 20% is mixed in sandy soil lying just below the surface and is strip mined and spun in centrifuges to separate the oil from the dirt. the remaining 80% is trapped hundreds of feet below solid rock. steam is injected underground to loosen the oil and it is pumped out. the thick tarlike crude must be mixed with chemicals to make it flow through the pipeline. tar sands require 70% more energy to extract than traditional oil. >> this is a gigantic mining operation in the middle of nowhere. they want to take production by 2025, more than double it. >> and your job is to make sure that never comes out of the ground? >> well, look, from my point of view -- i'm not a scientist. the scientists say it would be devastatingly terrible for the seven billion people on the earth if it does. >> when we return, tom steyer looks outside the box for answers. >> i actually believe that the solution for ou

keystone x.l. pipeline does not mean that the oil from the canadian oil sands deposits will go undeveloped, sparing the world some modest incremental carbon emissions. the prime minister of canada has promised that the country's oil sands will be developed should the keystone not be approved. in fact, if the keystone pipeline is not approved, the perverse result would be that the hydrocarbons will go to countries of very poor environmental records rather than the united states where our regulations and comprehensive -- are both comprehensive, strong, and enforced. second, in a more overarching but no less significant point, of this i am convinced, if america does not remain prosperous and strong, it imperative dependent on energy security, we will not be in a position to engineer the low-carbon energy solutions the world needs. nor will we be able to exercise the global leadership necessary to answer the climate change. and challenge. the decision object the pipeline is a litmus test of whether ame

keystone is in the national interest. it is good for the economy, jobs, tax and property revenue, investment and trade, energy security adding a more stable us source of energy, and the state department concluded it will have a negliable impact on the environment. their words. ksl will have a significant affect on improving the national security and adding more democratic molecules to the mix. 65% of the american people support the pipeline. we live in a dangerous time. approving the pipeline stregthens the economy, decreases the energy risk, respects the commitment to the environment, and furthering the trade with our democratic ally to the north. it is, in the words of canada's prime minister, a quote no brainer. >> several people have offered for have things entered to the record. they shall be included. mr. brune, i understand the seriousness of climate change. i have seen it with hurricane sandy. and i believe we should put a price on carbon and support the president's plan to cut the carbon emissions. however, it se

how do you apply that to the work you are doing now against the keystone pipeline?> let's step back for one second. i actually believe the solution for our energy problems is going to be corporate america, is going to be private enterprise, that when we get the policy framework right, the people in that sphere will come up with creative, imaginative, innovative solutions that will blow our minds. if you really look at what is happening in the fossil fuels arena, people are being really creative and innovative. some people hate fracking, but fracking is a new technology some people in the united states came up with is a way of engineering around an old problem. that's exactly what i expect american business to get. >> you are saying not all corporations are evil. in fact, it's ok to make money as long as it's toward a goal. >> i don't think corporations are evil. what i don't think we should do is rely on corporations for our morality. the truth is we are a nation of people, and i hate to say it, but the law of the land is the people who run corporations' responsibil

where do you stand on the keystone xl pipeline?well, that's one part of a very, very large puzzle. i'm not sure if it's ever going to get built. that's in the hands of the president. but we do know that it is not a solution to energy independence. it is not a solution to climate change. we have to take other steps. we have to move aggressively to reduce carbon fuels, and that happens to be a carbon fuel issue. so we need all of the other things that we have to do. we've got to get wind and solar and, frankly, nuclear, all of these things have to come online. we have to move away from petroleum, and most importantly, coal. >> so you would advise the president to say no to the pipeline? >> i think that's probably the right decision to make. it's going to be a tough one. you have canada banging on our door demanding access to the ports. they're talking about, well, if you don't let us go there, we'll go off to the pacific northwest, which would be even a more serious environmental issue for that part of the world. but what we've got t

opposition against the keystone xl pipeline is heating up down the stretch.keystone protesters were arrested sunday afternoon outside the white house. it's the latest push by environmentalists to convince the obama administration, actually the president himself, to reject the canadian oil pipeline. members of bold nebraska.org, a group of people organizing in an effort to stop the proposed pipeline from being built in their state told me the lobbying effort and misinformation campaign are two of the biggest concerns they have. one example they talked about was an e-mail from congressman lee terry's campaign manager. >> he sent an e-mail to his supporters saying that their electricity bills will go up unless the keystone xl pipeline is approved. that is outrageous. it is outrageous. >> so the fear tactic is out there as well? >> oh, sure, yeah. >> you were told that your electricity rates are going to go up unless the pipeline is built? >> yep. >> it's outrageous. >> and that's the type of tactics that not only represent terry uses but alex and americans for p

the keystone x.l. pipe lin is in our national interest and in the words of canada's prime minister, is a, quote, no-brainer. thank you very much. >> thank you all for your testimony. several witnesses have asked for documents to be entered into the record. and without objection, they shall be included. let me start off. mr. brune, i understand the seriousness of climate change. i have seen its effects with superstorm sandy, devastated our home state of new jersey. i personally believe in acting on climate by putting a price on carbon. and i support the president's plan to cut carbon emissions from power plants. however, it seems strange to regulate carbon by means of transportation, which is what denying the keystone pipeline would amount to. why do we not limit the amount of carbon on roads leading to power plants -- we don't limit the amount of carbon roads leading to power plants, so why should we regulate carbon through this pipeline? you reach put your microphone on. >> thank you, mr. chairman. th

the keystone x.l. pipeline has 2,001 day of ts the birth of its permit. 2,001 day that this country has waited for our president to sign the permit, allowing the nstruction of the keystone pipeline. why is the keystone pipeline important to us? first of all, the keystone pipeline brings oil from canada into the united states to six of our refineries. this provides us a level of energy security that is absolutely necessary in today's world. in fact, when i talk about today's world, let's talk about current events for just one second here and this is a newspaper article that was just released a few hours ago. retired general james jones told the senate foreign relations committee on thursday that approving the pipeline would send a message to russian president vladimir putin and other, quote, international bullies, end quote, that they cannot use international security as a weapon. jones said, rejection of the canada to texas pipeline would make mr. putin's day and strengthen his hand. the senate panel w

they wrote, "the keystone x.l. would unlock huge reserves of carbon that scientist have warned need to stay in the ground if we are to avoid worsening climate change that could prove reversible." that's the bottom line. wait a minute, overall only 27 democrats signed on to the letter. now there's 198 democrats in the house. we've got work to do. i think that voters deserve to know where their representatives are on this issue. 27, not a good number. good start, a brave 27. many while, we know where we can find some democrats where they stand, and that would be none the other than louisiana senator mary landrieu who is making flat out a dishonest push for the keystone x.l. pipeline. at a budget hearing she made this bogus case for the project. >> a critical, in my view, piece of infrastructure that will transport safely the cleanest barrel of oil produced in north america, contrary to popular belief. canada is our closest and our strongest trading partner. you are aware that their environmental standards are, in fac

the public comment peer is now over for the keystone xl pipe lynn and the debate continues to heat up. it's amazing to me, last week eve seen more people come out with statements about the pipe line. on friday, environmental groups, hand delivered over 2 million comments opposing the pipeline to the state department. >> we delivered more than 2 million comments that people wrote over the last month to tell president obama and secretary kerry that the keystone xl pipeline is not in the national interest and must be rejected. >> it's not 200, it's not 2,000, 2 million comments. >> remember, president obama has nothing to lose by saying no to the pipeline. later this week, the senate foreign relations committee will be holding a hearing on the pipeline, new jersey senator menendez, he has pledged to put the project under the public microscope. ah, that's going to be interesting because there really haven't been a whole lot of opponents to the pipeline in washington. there's a lot of elected officials afraid of big oil, they don't want to become a target in the age of citizens united. are

this concerns me because keystone x.l. will run through 2,000 miles of american farmland and over our country's argest water ack which fire -- alk which fire. it provides drinking water to more than two million people and provides water to our irgaited farmland. americans understand that past oil spills had severe environmental impacts but any x.l. spill will be truly catastrophic. tar sands oil is heavier than conventional oil, meaning it would soak in the soil and contaminating miles of river and shoreline. tar sands oil is also the world's dirtiest oil and approving the pipeline will accelerate its production, endangering our families, communities and climate. when extracted and refined, tar sands oil emits 17% more than conventional oil production which contributes to climate change. with 830,000 barrels of tar sands oil flowing through the pipeline each day, the metric tons of carbon dioxide added to the atmosphere each year would be equal to putting more than 5 1/2 million more cars on our roads. this means that buil
