construction of the Keystone pipeline. The first factor to take into consideration is that the construction of the Keystone pipeline will create an opening of 42‚100 jobs during construction and 50 permanent jobs. It will also contribute to keeping oil refinery jobs. Many environmentalists however tend to oppose this statement by arguing that more jobs will be created when using renewable energy instead‚ such as solar power. Another argument that tends to go against the Keystone pipeline is that it

Keystone species are extremely important in ecosystems across the world. They help control things like population‚ abiotic and biotic life‚ and impacts on human life. Keystone species essentially control the functions of the environment they live in‚ and provide positive and negative effects. In class‚ we studied the effect that wolves had on the environment of Yellowstone National Park. Now‚ I introduce Grizzly Bears and Beavers as my two examples of a Keystone Species. Beavers completely change

With the proposed Canadian Keystone XL Pipeline in the midst of approval‚ Americans can look forward to the potential of job growth and less dependencies upon foreign imports. The project proposes a 1‚179 mile‚ 36 inch-diameter crude oil pipe. Crude oil a petroleum product is a liquid composed of hydrocarbons‚ organic compounds and small amounts of metal. It is created through the heating and compression of organic materials‚ over a long time period. The pipeline would start in the town of Hardisty

A keystone species is a species that has a disproportionate effect on its environment relative to its abundance. Such an organism plays a role in its ecosystem that is analogous to the role of a keystone in an arch. While the keystone feels the least pressure of any of the stones in an arch‚ the arch still collapses without it. Similarly‚ an ecosystem may experience a dramatic shift if a keystone species is removed‚ even though that species was a small part of the ecosystem by measures of biomass

system that would be able to transport crude oil from Canada into the United States. The pipeline was given the name the Keystone Pipeline System. Originally‚ the pipeline was to run from Alberta‚ Canada to refineries in Illinois. However‚ in 2008 another proposition was raised in order to extend the pipeline even further to down to Texas. The proposition is known as the Keystone XL. The possible construction of the pipeline is a controversial topic. Entrepreneurs believe that such a pipeline will

Keystone XL Pipeline The Keystone XL Pipeline system is used for transporting oil from the Athabasca oil sands in Alberta Canada to the United States. There are four different phases of this pipeline. Phases one and two are already complete. The first phase of the pipeline starts at the Keystone Hardisty Terminal in Canada and stops at Wood River and Patoka‚ Illinois‚ and then phase two starts in Steele City‚ Nebraska and stretches down to Cushing‚ Oklahoma. The completed pipeline is over 2000 miles

Malina Stone Mr. Forente Ethics January 15‚ 2013 Keystone XL Pipeline Project Have you ever wondered how toxic sludge is transported from where it was created to where it is disposed of? Well‚ this has become a hot button issue in the White House. Apparently‚ there are enormous pipes buried in ground right now transporting barrels of tar sands oil in America’s mid-west. The purpose of these pipes is to move crude oil from one place to another. Another reason for the Pipelines

A keystone species is defined as one that has a critical role in determining and maintaining the overall relationship of plants and animals within an ecosystem. If a keystone species is removed or declines‚ the nature of the ecosystem will change dramatically. Sea Otters — A Classic Keystone Species The classic tale of a keystone species is that of the sea otter‚ which was once found in abundance along the West Coast of North America. The story goes something like this: 1. European and
