Cluster of Stakeholders

Every situation has stakeholders, people that stand to gain or lose something from a situation. Everyday people are affected by controversies and arguments and they may not know it. For example some people may not know that they were a stakeholder in the Keystone XL Pipeline controversy: but they were.

The cluster built to show how stakeholders were affected by the potential of building or not building this pipeline will show that certain groups stand to gain a lot from the pipeline while other groups stand a lot to lose from the pipeline being built. Big Oil groups obviously have a lot to gain from an oil pipeline while Environmentalist groups have a lot to lose should the pipeline be built incorrectly and cause a massive crude oil leak on land. The cluster shows how certain groups have certain interests and why they either like the proposed pipeline or dislike the proposed pipeline.
