Keystone XL = 37.7 Million Additional Cars on the Road **PLEASE SHARE**

MESSAGE FROM TOM STEYER: Soon President Obama will make a decision on expanding the Keystone XL pipeline. Here are some facts: It will transport more than 800,000 barrels of oil every day and emit 181 million metric tons of carbon dioxide each year. In spite of those facts, TransCanada is hitting us with a barrage of ads saying one thing:  The Keystone XL pipeline won't do any harm. If that sounds impossible, it's because it is. Building the pipeline would be the equivalent of adding 37.7 million new cars on the road every day. And I want to be clear about something: There is no way to adequately offset that damage. Anyone who tells you otherwise is spinning fairy tales. With so much misinformation on the airwaves,  it's up to us to get the truth out -- share this infographic on Facebook  and tell your friends just what is on the line: http://action.nextgenclimate.org/37-million-cars There's no scenario in which an expanded Keystone XL pipeline does less than irrevocable damage to our country's breathable air, environments from north to south, and nearby ecosystems like the Alberta Boreal forest.  Building the pipeline would be like firing up 51 new coal power plants, and there's no magic button we can press to undo that damage. Canada's plans for oil sand production would make adequate offsets impossible, but since a lot of people stand to make a lot of money off of the Keystone XL pipeline, they're trying to sell us a fairy tale in which our actions have no consequences, pollution has no impact on our environment, and they get to rake in a ton of cash while we sit back and let them. This isn't a fairy tale, this is serious. And we can't let them get away with it. Share this graphic on Facebook today: http://action.nextgenclimate.org/37-million-cars We can prevent the Keystone XL pipeline from expanding. But you and I can't do it alone -- and that's why it's so important to tell others. By the time President Obama makes his decision, our Facebook friends should be sick of hearing from us on Keystone. What's important is that they know the facts. Thanks for spreading the word,
