'Reports indicate that more than 500 protesters have been detained since August 20 during sit-ins and rallies against the proposed USD 7-billion Keystone XL pipeline designed to carry Canadian crude from Northern Alberta to Gulf Coast refineries in Texas.

NOTE: Not hard to see where the oil will be going. Think China.
