The pipeline will create jobs, lower the cost of energy, reduce dependence on Middle Easter imports and create economic opportunity in Nebraska.

• Keystone XL project will create 20,000 jobs – 7,500 of which will be in Nebraska
• $585 million in new tax revenue – this means better schools and infrastructure
• Keystone XL is safe – newer technology, concrete barriers and thicker pipe
• There already is a TransCanada pipeline going over the Ogallala Aquifer, the Keystone Pipeline has been operational for years in Eastern Nebraska , without a spill
• Legislation already exists to protect Nebraskans; LB 629 was signed into law last session that holds TransCanada financially responsible for any damage due to the pipeline
