Stop Keystone XL - construction halted for a day, off Hwy62 north of North Canadian River

from Great Plains Tar Sands Resistance website

The Keystone XL, as it snakes its way through the heartland of North America, not only crosses numerous major rivers, but the Ogallala Aquifer, which provides drinking and agricultural water for huge sections of the American Midwest. In Oklahoma, its route threatens the numerous tributaries of Lake Eufala, the Arbuckle-Simpson Reservoir, and the Cimarron and Red rivers, among others.

“ The North Canadian river, which the Keystone XL crosses just south of here, isn’t something that we can compromise”, said Elizabeth Leja “These two years of drought have made Oklahoma waterways even more sacred, and the dilbit [diluted bitumen] they want to put in that pipeline is just crazy, it isn’t safe.”
