"The association also said that the Keystone XL pipeline project included significant environmental protections:
“Keystone XL would operate at net-zero GHG emissions. Its $1.7 billion investment in new, privately-funded renewable power infrastructure would provide 100% of the power to operate the pipeline.
The project sponsor also executed a renewable power MOU with North America’s Building Trades Unions to construct this renewable power infrastructure with a $10 million Green Job Training Fund for union workers.
“Blocking Keystone XL may ironically lead to an increase in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions…Denying construction of Keystone XL means much of that crude oil will travel by train or truck instead, producing greater GHG emissions, more air pollution, and more traffic congestion.”
Another point made by the association in a release posted on their website was that cancellation of the pipeline would adversely affect Native American communities:
“Native American partnerships in the project would generate more than $1 billion in equity ownership opportunities with input into construction and operations.
The project sponsor committed over $500 million for Native American suppliers and employment opportunities for tribal communities.
Rural America would lose out on over $100 million of annual property taxes that would have gone to rural communities.”"
