"Environmentalists must prove the Keystone pipeline is inefficient in that production costs greatly outweigh any benefit gleaned from Keystone."
No, not really and this is setting them up for failure. The pipeline will replace trains for shipping oil and pipelines are more efficient and safer than trains. Sure, there is occasionally a spill using pipelines, but there is occasionally a derailment followed by a big explosion when using trains, sometimes in the middle of a city. What environmentalists need to do is to convince people that the long term costs of continuing to use oil is higher than switching to something cleaner.
