Keystone
Pipeline leaking once again!
This
one oil leak plus the other 17 leaks that are reported in the
following post is sending Caustic, Corrosive, Sulfur loaded oil down
into the Aquifer of our brothers and sisters around Minnesota,
Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri, effectively finishing the job not
completed not so long ago with ‘Small Pox laden Blankets’!

Keystone Pipeline Suspends Operation After Leaking 210,000 Gallons of Oil in South Dakota

The
federal Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration didn’t
immediately return an email requesting additional information from
The AP. Since 2010, companies have reported 17 spills bigger than the
leak announced Thursday, topping 210,000 gallons (5,000 barrels) of
crude oil or refined petroleum products, according to U.S. Department
of Transportation records.
The
existing Keystone pipeline transports crude from Canada to refineries
in Illinois and Oklahoma, passing through the eastern Dakotas,
Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri. It can handle nearly 600,000 barrels
daily, or about 23 million gallons. TransCanada says on its website
that the company has safely transported more than 1.5 billion barrels
of oil, or about 63 billion gallons, through the system since
operations began in 2010.
President
Donald Trump issued a federal permit for the expansion project in
March even though it had been rejected by the Obama administration.
The Keystone XL project would move crude oil from Alberta, Canada,
across Montana and South Dakota to Nebraska, where it would connect
with existing pipelines feeding refineries along the Gulf Coast.
