re: Keystone Pipeline just leaked 5,000 barrels of oil

This isn't the gulf or an ocean spill though.. I recently worked a fuel truck spill of ~5,000 gallons and there were dead animals for miles. It still smelled like gasoline weeks later during my follow-up visit. They'll be working on remediation for at least a year before it's no longer obvious that something happened.

This is nasty stuff but there are some really cool microbial digestion products that do wonders though. Keystone guys are professionals and I'm sure they handled it properly.. especially with a camera pointed at them 24/7.

If people gave a shite about all pipelines and oil transportation and not just this one they might actually do a bit of good in the world.

Not calling you a liar. Dead animals for miles seems a bit much for a half empty big rig spill.

24 or so..


and just think of the CO2 footprint from those 24 dirty trucks....

It obviously tapered off over the distance but this is pretty normal for moderate sized spills. Gasoline sits on top and travels pretty well.

This damn thing doesn’t help Americans. It moves Canadian oil sands oil to the Gulf to be shipped elsewhere.

OK. No more pipelines. Tell me which way we go now.

Always goin* to be something negative. How many barrels have gone through the pipeline without leaking? Environmentalist never want to talk about the success stories.
