Primary Statutes
Under Executive Order 13337, the State Department must approve or reject pipelines that cross the U.S. border after determining whether they would be in the national interest.

Major Concerns
Mining And Drilling Impacts
Large swaths of Albertas Boreal forest are being destroyed, and a massive amount of energy and water are used to produce the tar sands.

Tar sands mining operations require between two to four barrels of fresh water for every barrel of oil produced.

In addition, toxic tar sands tailings ponds now cover 65 square miles of Alberta, an area the size of Washington, D.C.
