Who does this new Republican Congress work for—foreign oil companies or the American people?” Warren asked. The proposed pipeline would transport oil from the tar sands of Alberta, Canada, to the Gulf Coast. Most of the oil would be exported, with little destined for use in the U.S. Earlier this week, President Obama threatened to veto legislation approving the Keystone pipeline. Keystone would create “terrible” environmental risks, said Warren. While backers have claimed Keystone will employ tens of thousands of Americans, more sober analyses show it’s unlikely to create more than a few thousand American jobs a year over two years of construction and probably no more than 50 permanent positions once it becomes operational.
