3,500 barrels is a good chunk. That's like 7 or 8 backyard pools.
We will gain independence from oil and gas once other energy methods become cheaper and reliable. Simple as that.

When you give up:
-All plastics and derivatives
-many medications
-synthetic fabrics
-fertilizers that make crop yields possible
-tires
-lubricants
-fuels
-wire
-PVC pipe
-vinyl siding
-asphalt shingles
-asphalt roads
-and the other millions of items hydrocarbons are used to produce that you use every day.

I got a funny one...
A environmental friend of mine anally saved multiple barrels of used oil to recycle. He spent years saving every bit he could. He asked the guy who came to pick it up how they recycle it and the guy shrugged his shoulders and said "they gonna spray it on the road"

An employee on a pump station along the pipeline heard a "bang" Tuesday morning, spill investigation program manager with the North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality Bill Suess told CBS News. South Bow, a liquid pipelines business that has managed the Keystone Pipeline since 2024, said control center leak detection systems detected a pressure drop in the system and initiated a shutdown and response around 7:42 a.m. It's not clear what caused the issue.
Sounds like the line was slacked somewhere…and the control center started a pump causing a water hammer which caused a flange to split.

There a lot.of flanges on the keystone?
Posted on 4/10/25 at 10:17 pm to fallguy_1978
And how long will the supply last???

You think the Keystone is just one continuous run of pipe?

Just figured a weld failure like 2022.
Have no idea on how many flanges, just seems unusual. But so would be a water hammer in a liquid filled crude pipeline.

Strike a match, let it burn, fertilize, profit?

Google what a water hammer is…there doesn’t have to be water or hammers in the pipe for it to happen.
Posted on 4/10/25 at 11:03 pm to offshoreangler
Understand that. I would think a "water hammer" on the Keystone would be unusual considering the factors in place.
Unusual, not impossible.

Do pipeline companies regularly hammer their lines? You would think they would have safety measures in place to mitigate the risks.

Like arrestors or min-flows.
Nothing is foolproof though.

You start, and keep us updated on your life without fossil fuels.

Man, they’ll clean that shite up in a heartbeat. It is a minor spill in agracultursl fields.

I work for the largest pipeline operator in the country…I can equivocally say…yes haha.
Some dipshit operator or pipeline controller is going to have their head up their arse and close a valve when the shouldn’t or not start a pump process precisely like they should…source-12 years of control room/management experience.
