everyones favorite pipeline is doing just what everyone feared .

Probably all over some tribes burial site .

Keystone Pipeline leaks 210,000 gallons of oil in South Dakota

Your link still does not work for me.

I read this but was looking for an appoximation. Is 1/3 the size of a swimming pool accurate? Seems like more to me. Already hit the surface.

Quit whining about it, you’ve never been up here most progressives have never been up here. There’s nothing to lose - you stupid ass motherfucker. Quit falling down the well

Ours holds around 22,000 gallons but an olympic pool is huge, like 600,000 gallons

 

[Darkwind]

Where is Dakota and what is its area? Will 200k gallons spread all over Dakota be a mile high, a foot high, a millimeter high?

How was this spotted? A flyover environmentalist on his way to New York City to lecture about the impact of fossil fuels on global climate?

We need details!

I'm going to boycott everyone who uses oil!

F'n idiots havent the slightest clue what it takes to clean up anything toxic ...


piss in your drawers about swimming pool capacity, then multiply x100 or 1,000000 for residue damage.


ya damn dumshits

200,000 gallons is less than 1/3rd the size of an Olympic size swimming pool.

But swimming pools are filled with water.

The oil spilled UNDERGROUND.

Where does oil come from?

Where do all these smart dumb guys come from? Derp oil comes from ground so spilling it in ground is a wash. Derp! Hey, when people were complaining about their homes flooding I said "uh, duh you need water to live and your body is 80% water. Is your body damaged too!"

And yet when Obama does it, nary a word...
Where was your consternation thread condemning this?

That was a contractor who was cleaning up a polluted mine .

Why did this get moved out of politics ? Cause it makes the gop look bad ?

They're on it. Great crews and rapid response teams. And it appears it's affecting only one land owner who is co operating. Isolated within 15 minutes. Cool.

TransCanada responds to oil leak in Amherst, South Dakota
AMHERST, SOUTH DAKOTA--(Marketwired - Nov. 16, 2017) - News Release - TransCanada (TSX:TRP) (NYSE:TRP) crews safely shut down its Keystone pipeline at approximately 6 a.m. CST (5 a.m. MST) after a drop in pressure was detected in its operating system resulting from an oil leak that is under investigation. The estimated volume of the leak is approximately 5,000 barrels. The section of pipe along a right-of-way approximately 35 miles (56 kilometres) south of the Ludden pump station in Marshall County, South Dakota was completely isolated within 15 minutes and emergency response procedures were activated.

Crews, including TransCanada specialists from emergency management, engineering, environmental management and safety as well as contracted, nationally recognized experts are assessing the situation. TransCanada is providing State and Federal regulators, including the Pipelines and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and the National Response Center (NRC), with accurate and confirmed information on an ongoing basis.

TransCanada appreciates the collaborative support of local officials, emergency response personnel and commissioners in Marshall County, as well as the landowner who has given permission to access land for assessment, identification and clean-up activities.

We have been keeping our shippers and customers up to date and have communicated that the pipeline from Hardisty, Alberta to Cushing, Oklahoma and to Wood River/Patoka, Illinois is expected to remain shut down as we respond to this incident. This does not affect the Marketlink pipeline system, which uses the facilities of the southern leg of the Keystone system from Cushing to the Gulf Coast.

The safety of the public and environment are our top priorities and we will continue to provide updates as they become available.

How does this make the GOP look bad.

the oil experts that produce bit oil dont know how to clean the shit up, but the UBER-SMART BOARD REPUBLICANS KNOW HOW !!!!!!

 

[Natural Citizen]

Do you have any clue how serious that is? Have you ever seen an oil spill and do you realize what's involved in cleaning one up?

Not to mention it's sitting on the second largest aquifer in the world...in the world...in the world.

Which supplies water for about a dozen surrounding states.

Ogallala Aquifer

This spill is crude oil from tar sands, btw. Which is the dirtiest stuff out of all of the crudes. Tar sands oil is much thicker and stickier than traditional oil.

I know we have never not cleaned one up. So far we are doing a good job of clean up despite how difficult it can be...

If any of you want to see an on going oil spill that has been spilling for decades go to the Santa Barbara area. The oil flows out through fishers in the ocean floor and I'll be damned if I haven't wrecked 10 good pairs of shoes walking on the sand.
No man made cause at all totally natural leakage and the earth and ocean in that area is doing just fine...shoe sales are doing great!

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiight. It's so bad because the Keystone is the only pipeline right across the Ogalala.

An immutable law of nature ... if you're going to move around a lot of liquid, some of it is going to spill.
