Citizens spoke at the final State Department public hearing concerning the TransCanada Keystone Pipeline Proposal, which, if approved, would transport oil from Alberta, Canada, through six states with final transfer points in Houston and Port Arthur, Texas. Those who spoke against the plan said there were too many health and environmental risks for the State Department to issue a permit for the company.
