3. Keystone XL Overstated Number of Jobs to be Created
In 2008, TransCanada’s original permit application to the State Department said the Keystone XL pipeline would create “a peak workforce of approximately 3,500 to 4,200 construction personnel” in temporary jobs building the pipeline.
By 2011, now facing growing opposition to the pipeline, TransCanada had inflated these numbers (using undisclosed formulas) to 20,000. Supporters of the proposal, backed by big oil, have since trumpeted these trumped up numbers.

“We believe the growing questions about the impact of the Keystone XL pipeline on Koch should be resolved before any votes are taken on legislation to promote the construction of the pipeline.”
We make this request so that Committee members can understand whether Koch is positioned to be a “big winner” if the pipeline is approved, as some news accounts have reported.
