Survey says rural Nebraskans are OK with a Keystone XL pipeline -- if it avoids the Sandhills
August 14, 2012

The University of Nebraska - Lincoln conducted the mail survey, which got a surprisingly high response rate of greater than one in three. The respondents tended to approve of the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline, but prefer a route that avoids the Sandhills and the Ogallala Aquifer. Opponents of the pipeline and of certain proposed routes voice concern that the Sandhills are too susceptible to contamination by oil leaks, and that those leaks could pass through the sand into the aquifer. Just 13% of the respondents oppose the pipeline altogether.
