Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsRobert Reich asks question about Keystone Pipeline.
"Question: Whos the largest foreign lease owner in Canada's oil sands region of Alberta, Canada?
Answer: Koch Industries, which holds leases on 1.1 million acres -- an area nearly the size of Delaware -- capable of producing tens of thousands of barrels of the region's thick brand of crude oil in the next few years. The Keystone XL pipeline will lower transportation costs for all oil sands producers, bolstering the Kochs profit margins. Do you think this might explain why Republicans (as well as some Democrats like Louisana Senator Mary Landrieu) are so eager to have the pipeline approved?"
