Two main political issues today are the economy and the environment, a recent topic that involves these issues is the decision or lack thereof to go through with the Keystone pipeline XL. The pipeline stretches from Alberta, Canada to the Gulf of Mexico, via Texas and can provide immediate jobs and oil economic stimulation as well as economic stimulation for future generations. The problem is that while this project can mean a brighter future economically, it can also mean a darker future environmentally. Despite the possible environmental risks, the keystone pipeline XL project needs to be approved as it can provide energy security and a major economical stimulation for this generation and the next.

oil industry by increasing supply and lowering the price, creating new jobs, developing pipeline infrastructure, etc., but most importantly, it will enhance U.S. energy security. Of course, there are many other pipeline systems around the country, including America’s own resources, which can take care of a considerable amount of its oil needs. The question is why only this Canadian pipeline construction would receive so much attention and criticisms, while the others didn’t, since building Keystone pipeline or extension pipeline is apparently not a new proposal. The answer could be that certain environmental externalities associated with the project needed to be addressed more carefully than other pipelines. However, there are several reasons why Keystone XL pipeline should be built, which essentially outweighs its projected environmental risks and spillovers to the nature and

The Keystone XL Pipeline has been a controversial topic for the past seven years, first proposed in 2008 it still garners widespread debate. The KXL Pipeline is the fourth phase of a proposed crude oil pipeline that will run south from the Alberta oil sands to the refineries in the U.S. With the economic and environmental implications of such a large project so close to home its undertaking would also impact all the local communities as well as economies all over the world. For that reason how should the US government decide the pipeline’s future, taking into account the economics of the investment? To make an economic decision about this venture one must examine the effects of the pipeline from the oil and gas industry’s point of view, from

Because countries, especially the United States, rely immensely on a constant source of oil, maintaining that unceasing energy source is a form of national security (Slade 49). Instead of receiving oil from countries like Venezuela and Saudi Arabia, who are the second and third leading suppliers of oil for the U.S., the country would receive its major crude oil imports from their neighboring country (“Keystone” 1). The State Department concluded that it was in the interest of the country because it provided additional supplies which would make up for the decline of imports from the United States’ other key suppliers (Kalen 12). The building of the pipeline is also argued as extremely beneficial to economy. TransCanada stated that this project would create twenty thousand new jobs and seven billion dollars in economic incentive (“Keystone” 1).

Alaska, located from the northwest of Canada, supplies oil to America via the Trans-Alaskan Pipeline system. Though its oil industry has brought about huge economic growth in the state, it has also largely suffered because of the environmental issues that had resulted from its oil industry. Alaska benefits from the demand for consumption of energy, yet suffers at the same time from supply energy. This essay will firstly highlight the social issues brought about by the oil industry in Alaska. Next, social concepts such as modern science and the logic of industrial capitalism will be analyzed to explain the cause of these social issues.

For this week’s reading I choose an abstract called “Shale gas-the unfolding story” by Howard Rogers. This abstract described the US gas production in the early 2000s, as desperate and declining. With gas prices rising, the only hope was the development of liquefied natural gas (LNG). Starting in 2004, two proven technologies, horizontal drilling and pressure-induced hydraulic fracturing started being utilized.

As seen in the graph attached, from the beginning of March 2016, the cost of a barrel of crude oil rose to $37 and has since then remained relatively high when compared to it’s deep decline in mid January 2016. Altogether, the rise in price of crude oil has stimulated the trade of Alberta’s oil exportations as the demand has also increased with our major trading partners of China and the United States. This contributed to lowering the unemployment rate of Alberta from 7.9% in February 2016 to 7.1% in March 2016 as more jobs were created in this sector of the
