Again, I am guessing no because I don't believe we have ever had an environmental disaster because of an oil spill. There seems to be some concerns about earthquakes which is laughable; The pipeline from California to Arizona starts in California, the earthquake capital of the United States.

Our country is nothing but pipelines. Hell, I have a pipe directly into my house supplying me with natural gas.

By the way, I believe the Keystone Pipeline picks up US oil in Montana and brings it to the coast.

One way or the other, Canadian oil is going to pass through the United States. Canadian oil is already passing through the US, mostly in pipelines.
