shintao Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 This why Republicans cannot be trusted to run America......... Why Is Fox News Silent?? Massive Pipeline Leak Shows Why Nebraska Should Reject Keystone XL About 210,000 gallons of oil leaked from the controversial pipeline. In March, President Trump overturned President Obama's rejection of the KXL by signing an executive order to advance the project forward. Trump said that doing so would boost construction jobs but critics noted that it would only create 35 permanent jobs. About 210,000 gallons (5,000 barrels) of oil gushed Thursday from TransCanada's Keystone oil pipeline near Amherst, South Dakota, drawing fierce outcry from pipeline opponents. The leak, the largest spill to date in South Dakota, comes just days before Nebraska regulators decide on whether its controversial sister project—the Keystone XL (KXL) Pipeline—will go forward. The spill occurred in the same county as part of the Lake Traverse Reservation. "We are concerned that the oil spill is close to our treaty land, but we are trying to stay positive that they are getting the spill contained and that they will share any environmental assessments with the tribal agency," said Dave Flute, tribal chairman of the Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate. "With their horrible safety record, today's spill is just the latest tragedy caused by the irresponsible oil company TransCanada," said Ben Schreiber, senior political strategist at Friends of the Earth. "We cannot let the world's fossil fuel empires continue to drive government policy toward climate catastrophe. The only safe solution for oil and fossil fuels is to keep them in the ground." https://www.alternet.org/environment/massive-pipeline-leak-shows-why-nebraska-should-reject-keystone-xl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petroleum is becoming obsolete. What is shown in the photo is minor compared what that it is doing to the water table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keystone Pipeline leaks 210,000 gallons of oil in South Dakota - CNN A total of 210,000 gallons of oil leaked Thursday from the Keystone Pipeline in South Dakota, the pipeline's operator, TransCanada, said. Crews shut down the pipeline Thursday morning, and officials are investigating the cause of the leak, which occurred about three miles southeast of the town of Amherst, said Brian Walsh, a spokesman for the state's Department of Environment and Natural Resources. This is the largest Keystone oil spill to date in South Dakota, Walsh said. The leak comes just days before Nebraska officials announce a decision on whether the proposed Keystone XL Pipeline, a sister project, can move forward. In April 2016, there was a 400-barrel release -- or 16,800 gallons -- with the majority of the oil cleanup completed in two months, Walsh said. About 5,000 barrels of oil spilled Thursday.
