Kansas oil spill biggest in Keystone history

[gohawks50]

A ruptured pipe dumped enough oil this week into a northeastern Kansas creek to nearly fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool, becoming the largest onshore crude pipeline spill in nine years and surpassing all the previous ones on the same pipeline system combined, according to federal data.

The Keystone pipeline spill in a creek running through rural pastureland in Washington County, Kansas, about 150 miles (240 kilometers) northwest of Kansas City, also was the biggest in the system’s history, according to U.S. Department of Transportation data. The operator, Canada-based TC Energy, said the pipeline that runs from Canada to Oklahoma lost about 14,000 barrels, or 588,000 gallons.

Read yesterday that the spill and pipeline shutdown didn’t have much affect on oil prices - because Keystone oil just goes to the Gulf for export.

Just need to keep drilling and we’ll lower that global oil price.

Thank God we're eliminating all that.

I wonder how many Olympic pools would it take for it to be real disaster.

We were assured that this pipeline was leak proof.

Imagine how low gas prices would be if we built a pipeline that doesn't impact gasoline prices at all!

Bet the goddam thing is leaking like a sieve in a hundred places. Gotta get that Canadian shit crude to the Gulf so it can be exported. Nah. Don't take it to Vancouver.
