Washington D.C. -
Thousands
of environmentalists protested outside the White House, urging President Obama
to reject the Keystone XL Pipeline project that would run through Oklahoma.
The
protesters say the pipeline could contaminate the water supply, create air
pollution and harm wildlife. But the American Petroleum Institute says it would
be a huge boost to the economy.
The
pipeline would bring oil from Canada through Cushing, Okla. to the Gulf Coast.
