in september, 2008, transcanada keystone pipeline filed an application for a presidential permit for the proposed keystone xl pipeline. executive order 1337, signed on april 30th, 2004, delegates to the department of state the authority to issue a presidential permit for facilities such as the proposed keystone xl pipeline that crossed the u.s. border. in considering a permit, the department of state determines whether the border crossing is in the u.s. national interest. taking into account environmental and safety concerns as well as energy security, foreign policy and social and economic matters. in addition to the executive order, the department of state determined because of the proposed pipeline's importance that it should evaluate the pipeline's environmental and safety impact consistent with the national environmental policy act or nepa to the congress provide an environmental impact statement consistent with nepa to evaluate the proposed pipelines potential environmental and safety impact. in preparing the environmental and picked statement over the past two and a half years,

thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak on their behalf today regarding the transcanada keystone xl pipelineproducts. the construction of the transcanada keystone xl pipeline will employ 50600 laborers from local 1686 in montana. these jobs are desperately needed to several thousand montanans employed in the construction industry have lost jobs in the last four years. this project will be a crucial path to allow men and women of antenna to provide for their families, pay their bills and support local businesses. this project will enable workers to be able to provide health insurance coverage for themselves and family in addition to a living wage, which will in turn support the small businesses within our communities and create thousands of spinoff jobs. montanans will once be able to provide for families and communities. though the paper will pump over over $420 million in two states economy, including 285 million into the wallets of working families are montana. this will be a fundamental component in restoring would've been lost within our communities of the great state of montana. the peo

host: the transcanada keystone pipeline project is 9% of u.s. oil consumption. let us go to a question from twitter. he wants to know about how the monitoring is done. how do companies that run pipelines make sure they are in tact. talk about that. guest: i wish i had my colleague here that could give you a real good answer. which you are looking at is the monitors andeal, amount of monitors, the types of monitors. the systems themselves are called leak detection mechanisms. beyond that, we would be happy to follow up, if he wants more specifics of the engineering, design, controlling measures. guest: that is an extremely important question. regarding the marshall michigan's bill, at first the oil company said, we may have lost -- marshall michigan's at first the oil company said we only lost a few thousand gallons. but once you put the pipes down, it is hard to know what is being spilled and will -- where the split is going. this is a critical environmental issue. many lawsuits have been raised about the fact that transcanada plans on increasing the pressure in

. >> host: let's look at the map of the transcanada keystone pipeline. remind you of the numbers you can call to weigh in. we're talking about the proposed extension of the keystone pipeline running all the way through the united states. the state department is the agencies overseeing this which is interesting and that is because it's international running through both canada and the united states, so they are looking at whether or not to approve this pipeline to decide if it's in the nation's interest, and the decision is expected by the end of the year according to the "new york times". david on the republican line, good morning, david. >> caller: good morning. i'll keep a sealable tongue in my mouth right now. it's kind of hard. the main reason our economics is in such turmoil is because of people like that environmentalist you got there, that's done everything do destroy our own up dependent sources of energy for own gains for not fraudulent so-called green projects that's been proven to be nothing but fraud from day one. you made the same claims abou

the eis seems to ignore that pipelines do still and often much more than we have heard today. in fact, the transcanada predicted that its keystone pipeline would only spill once in its first year of operation and it has built 12 times. that is result in the pipeline has is because and safety administration issuing a directive order to transcanada finding that they continue operation without corruptive marchers would harm the army. despite this the state department claims the proposed project will not like the close significant risk around the rear. associate with those measures incorporated. epa also strongly criticized the eis analysis impacts because it's not evident that 830 million barrels a day capacity from canada to the refining without noting nations -- >> could you go ahead and wrap up your comments? >> well, the refineries in the communities in port arthur, texas, include malaria, huntsman, petrone, chevron, great lakes carbon, and also a chemical waste management facility. we are very disappointed. secretary clinton has already made almost a determination for this pipeline and uprooted we remember when she was under c

transcanada, the american petroleum institute and other proponents of the pipeline claim keystone xl is a 7 billion-dollar project a great 20,000 track construction and manufactures jobs and 119,000 indirect jobs. however, cornell's analysis of keystone xl has found transcanada's numbers are unsubstantiated and that the project will produce far fewer jobs than they claim. in fact, cornell's careful and more comprehensive analysis reveals the construction of keystone xl may destroy more jobs and agreed. i want to underscore four main points that explain why construction of keystone xl may destroy more jobs than it creates. first, transcanada claims that keystone xl is a $7 billion project could actually keystone xl's u.s. project budget is only 3.3 billion. transcanada hasn't played the u.s. project budget by including 1.6 billion that will be spent in canada and approximate 2.6 billion that has already been spent or committed to the project. in reality keystone u.s. project budget is less than half what transcanada claims come and this means a lot less jobs will be to a. second, fuel

transcanada agreed to a similar set of conditions for its keystone pipeline, describing the system as that would meet or exceed world-class safety standards. in the first year of operation, its pipeline had 14 leagues in the united states, spilling 22,000 gallons. that was last than the oil from our cars in a year. everyone would take that wager. [applause] the first major -- has demonstrated that spills present significant challenges. in addition to the increase in frequency and assessment of its physical properties, it will be have differently than crude when spill. the experience -- shows that cleaning these presents significant new challenges that haven't been surmounted. after it spilled into the kalamazoo watershed, the environmental protection agency said a two month deadline for completing the cleanup. 14 months later, it has missed its second deadline. the obama administration -- >> i was going to ask you if you could have the final sentence. >> the obama administration has not done the science as to what these pipelines post. moving forward without due diligence but the comm

millions of americans who need jobs and transcanada, the project's owner, says keystone will put 20,000 americans to work. you may have seen pictures of the anti-pipelinehis had one got darryl hannah arrested outside the white house. if president obama missed them, he certainly knows that there is a backlash. here he is yesterday in denver trying to talk student loans. >> all right. thank you, guys. we're looking at it right now. no decision has been made and i know your deep concern about it so we will address it. >> since the pipeline would cross u.s. borders, addressing it is up to hillary clinton. state department gets the final say after a series of public hearings and an environmental impact study. that pipeline opponents say was fixed. that's because transcanada pick the firm and a transcanada lobbyist is a former campaign aide to clinton. see how this works? i'm joined by senior writer for cnnmoney.com, steve hargrave. steve, this story certainly isn't "undercovered" by you. what would the pipeline mean for u.s. imports? >> it would mean a lot of new oil, doubling imports coming from canada's oil sands into the u.s. right now we consume about 1

keystone pipeline. not just because there are seven lobbyists with links, former links to the clinton and obama campaigns who are now campaigning for the company, transcanada we knew when you say soare. >> but now in the "new york times" today what we're learning is that they -- the state department had to conduct an environmentist report. had the report came out it was quite shocking because they came to the conclusion there was no sig cant environment impact of the pipeline. i was really surprised to learn this. i learned this about the day i got arrested along with more than 1,200 other people, first time arrested in my life. i felt it a responsibility as a canadian, and how can you say that a pipeline that would double of capacity of the dirtiest fossil fuel in the planet emitted per barrel, that a regular barrel of crude? turns out that the company that did the environmental assessment was outsourced is a company called entrix and weren't of their top five clients is transcanada. >> let me make sure everyone understands this. the company that wants to build the pipeline hire add company to do the environmental impact survey. the company they hired cam
