Keystone nation: Mapping the politics of the pipeline
Dan Farber, professor of law | 2/6/14
Looking at three maps sheds some interesting light on the the politics of the Keystone XL pipeline. The pipeline’s geography resonates in an interesting way with political and demographic geography.
We can start with two maps that show the proposed route (on the left) and the dates in which counties reached their peak populations.
You can immediately see that the pipeline runs through areas that have been losing population for an extended period of time. Now compare that to one more map, this time showing the familiar Red/Blue spectrum among states:
