This February, concerned Americans sent the Senate 800,000 messages opposing the pipeline in just 24-hours.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>One of the top concerns of pipeline opponents is the climate impacts of the project. The tar sands oil that would be transported by Keystone XL ranks among the most carbon-intensive oils on the planet and its production is three-to four-times more greenhouse gas intensive than conventional oil. According to the EPA, the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline has the potential to increase carbon pollution by 27 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (2). This is the equivalent of seven coal-fired power plants operating continuously or having 6.2 million cars on the road for 50 years.
