There Is Officially a New Route of the Keystone XL Pipeline
What does this decision mean?
A decision was made regarding the route of the oil pipeline to flow from Canada into the state of Nebraska Monday which comes with mixed reviews.
These reviews stem from environmentalists who believe that after the most recent oil spill on the 17th, still accepting the pipeline to move forward, is not only reckless but unintelligent.
Regulators of Nebraska have accepted the project to move forward under one condition: the route is changed. This includes a longer pathway for the inner-pipes to integrate through but will overall avoid the Native American reservations that brought about enormous court conflict for the past eight years.
TransCanada, the original pipeline company, has not readily made a comment which has left the public even more-so confused. The company’s president, Russ Girling, issued a statement later wanting to “conduct a careful review” and assess “how the decision would impact the cost and schedule of the project.”

Trump said Keystone XL pipeline will create 28,000 jobs. Reality? US State Department says it’ll create 50 permanent jobs. Meanwhile, it just leaked 210,000 gallons of crude oil.

My name is Kelsey Comeaux, I’m currently a Senior at McNeese State University, majoring in Mass Communications with a concentration in New Media. I’ve always had an interest in creative media arts as well as music (four years private piano lessons) and slightly self taught acoustic guitarist ;) I remember making movies on my dad’s “Windows Movie Maker” growing up and showing them to my friends and family. Building on emotion and presenting an important message through my projects was such a fulfilling experience. I hope to do that on a wider base one day.
Other than that, I love sports and am naturally a competitive spirit. I love to go running for fun, as weird as that sounds; it’s such a great release for me during stressful times. I also enjoy writing, short fiction is my expertise, as well as reading various novels mostly consisting of Science Fiction and Romance. Anything dealing with an adrenaline rush involving the outdoors I’m game for. I’m here to explore, love wildly, feel passionately, and have diligence deriving from the soul.
