Most people seem to be aware that 1 million barrels traveling 1 mile on open ocean is a BIGGER number,You should sell your expertise to the Chinese.
Since oil floats, it's easier to corral and remove from the surface of the water. No one will even try to clean up the two acres of trees, brush, and tundra.Crews put a clamp over a hole in the trans-Alaska Oil Pipeline on Saturday, slowing a leak that has spewed 285,000 gallons of oil into the tundra over the past three days.
In what the governor called "a hare-brained act of violence," a man who had been drinking shot the pipeline Thursday with a hunting rifle. Before the clamp was installed, oil under high pressure sprayed through a small hole onto about two acres of trees, brush and tundra.
OK... at 55 gallons per barrel..or 5,181 barrels.
Alaska Oil Pipeline Pierced By Bullet
Chopper On Patrol Spotted Oil Spewing From Linewww.cbsnews.com
The pipeline spilled at the rate of 72 barrels per hour for 3 days.
An accident just like Exxon Valdez... except that accident was 250,000 barrels!
AGAIN... which has the bigger potential for damage? A 1 million barrel oil tanker or a pipeline carrying 700 barrels in one mile?

So explain to me DUMMY why then are spending...Tarsands are the consistency of fudge. It has to be diluted with light sweet crude to flow, but it's still thick and corrosive. Nobody wants it. That's why it's so cheap.
I was under the impression that we were having a conversation. Since you've decided that you need to become more abrasive with each post, I'm out.First of all which would require more effort to clean up?
1 million barrels on the open ocean or 700 barrels on dry land?
But Who in the hell are YOU! Are you an expert? Because here is what EXPERTS say!!!
David Valentine, Professor of Earth Science and Biology at UCSB,
says it is better to have soil spills than ocean spills:
“In general, spills to soil are more contained than spills to water, and thus cleanup is more straightforward.
Damage is often lesser for soil spills.
For this reason an aquatic spill (including marine) tends to be more harmful than a spill to soil.”
HEY DUMMY dOgbreath! Are you an expert???
You idiot...READ what a little time spent getting FACTS takes!!!
Linda Krop, Chief Counsel at the Environmental Defense Center (EDC) in Santa Barbara, California, agrees. “Spills in soils cause less damage and are easier to clean up effectively.” She adds that pipelines are unlike other modes of oil transportation because they can have safety features that make large leaks preventable:
Is it easier to clean up soil spills than ocean spills?
You asked, “Wouldn’t it be better to have oil spill soak into the soil rather than drain into the sea?” We got the answers.
GEEZ why do idiots like Dogbreath make any comments as all it does is show how truly DUMB and lazy!
I assume they heat it?Because tarsands are corrosive and the consistency of fudge.
Maybe. I know they dilute it. How would you keep it warm over the length of the pipeline?I assume they heat it?
Do they use steam and dilute it?
Read about the Yellowstone river spill. It's easier to capture in the ocean than from rivers, creeks and streams.I was under the impression that we were having a conversation. Since you've decided that you need to become more abrasive with each post, I'm out.
Why don't you read up on the Alaska pipeline. They also heat that oil before they put it in the pipeline.Maybe. I know they dilute it. How would you keep it warm over the length of the pipeline?
spilling oil into the ocean is 1000 times worse, dumbass. How many square miles of ocean do you imagine a barrel of oil can spread over?Read about the Yellowstone river spill. It's easier to capture in the ocean than from rivers, creeks and streams.
Many..and the oil spills travel. Oil spills in rivers and creeks also travel and spread into soil, tree roots,and plants growing on the banks.spilling oil into the ocean is 1000 times worse, dumbass. How many square miles of ocean do you imagine a barrel of oil can spread over?
You are desperate for talking points.700 barrels traveling one mile on dry land underground?
So why did Biden as did Obama cancel a pipeline that would be
A) part of a system that the White House says..
"White House admits pipelines are 'safest' way to transport oil"
B) part of 185,000 miles pipelines:that have spilled an average of 5 gallons per mile.
Nearly 9 million gallons of crude oil have spilled from pipelines in the United States since 2010.
(9 million spilled gallons of divided by 185,000 miles of pipeline divided by 6 years or 8 gallons/year/mile.)
So common sense. FACTs. Statistics all support.
Here's how much oil has spilled from US pipelines since 2010
Nearly 9 million gallons of crude oil spilled from the 70,000 miles of pipelines crisscrossing the United States since 2010.www.businessinsider.com
8 gallons of spilled oil per mile per year VS 55 million gallons traveling one mile on open ocean per day!
Please defenders of Biden's cancelling Keystone... defend it!
Refute the White House acknowledging pipelines safest way!
Refute that 8 gallons per mile per year is more dangerous than 55 million gallons/mile/day!
Not nearly as bad. Of course, most oil spilled from a pipeline only spreads a few feet.Many..and the oil spills travel. Oil spills in rivers and creeks also travel and spread into soil, tree roots,and plants growing on the banks.
How’s that Alaska pipeline work?Because tarsands are corrosive and the consistency of fudge.
Read up on the Yellowstone river oil spill..Not nearly as bad. Of course, most oil spilled from a pipeline only spreads a few feet.
How does that compare with the Exxon Valdez spill? I can save you some time. The Yellowstone spills were trivial compared to Exxon Valdez.Read up on the Yellowstone river oil spill..
They are building electrically heated pipelines Africa to get heavy viscosity crude to flow. Link to follow.Why don't you read up on the Alaska pipeline. They also heat that oil before they put it in the pipeline.
Don't start pretending you know stuff because all you do is prove that you don't know what the fuck your talking about?
