As you know, our Earth is in a constant state of heating up- also known as climate change, and we need to put a halt on the amount of CO2 emissions that we put out into the atmosphere. Building the Keystone XL (which Trump wants to do) would release 27.4 million metric tons of carbon pollution into our atmosphere ANNUALLY. This is not the only problem of the Keystone XL. Implanting the Keystone XL would potentially (high risk of) threatening America's water, in particular the Ogallala aquifer. Clean up of the accidents that happen ( such as pipeline spills) could cost billions of dollars in repair. Not only does Trump want to give the Keystone XL a go, he also wants to advance the Dakota Access Pipeline.
