Hello everyone, my name is Sara Mosier, I am a writer and student at the University of Nebraska. I have been aware of the controversy that is the Keystone Pipeline and I have found that the cons outweigh the pros. Yes, it would 'apparently' lead the U.S in the direction of having less dependence on foreign oil, and perhaps it would create jobs. But, as I will show you through posts, pictures, videos, interviews, and political opinions. It's not so cut and dry as one may think.
Many fear the repercussions of the drilling itself and possible spills. That it what I worry about. I worry about our aquifers, our wetlands, our drinking water, and of course the people and animals that could be affected if such project is completed.
I have always been appalled that the human factor of this equation is nearly forgotten, money, seems to be the only importance, as well as oil. There are already countless protest pages out there, one including The Rosebud Sioux tribe, there website includes lot of information and how you can help donate to invest in their efforts.
