"The government shouldn't force us to employ pricey safety measures!" 2. accident happens 3. "The government should totally pay for some or all of the cleanup!" RE: Keystone pipeline springs leak in South Dakota - Benton - 04-05-2016 Way to bury the lead. The big story here is that South Dakota has a coast to guard. When did this happen!? RE: Keystone pipeline springs leak in South Dakota - bfine32 - 04-05-2016 187 gallons? Am I the only one that sees this as good news. I was always took the issue with Keystone was IF there was a spill it would be catestrophic. I've seen dude's Harley leak 187 gallons of oil in one riding season. RE: Keystone pipeline springs leak in South Dakota - NATI BENGALS - 04-05-2016 One of the reasons ive been against the keystone xl. Why should we risk our environment so canada can ship oil globally? Piss off with that shit. RE: Keystone pipeline springs leak in South Dakota - fredtoast - 04-05-2016 (04-05-2016, 03:22 PM)Benton Wrote: Way to bury the lead.

If the sections they already have are leaking (even a couple hundred gallons) what will a longer section do with less oversight?

I guess we can just transport it by boat. What could go wrong there?

Cute, but you do realize that is only .ooo727% of the 550,000 barrels that flow through that pipe each day, right? Very tiny, as far as oil spills go. I'd say that between the farmer that noticed the problem, and the company that took measures to remedy the issue, catastrophe was avoided. Why all the false alarm over reactionness?

Why all the false alarm over reactionness? Because if it wasn't there in the first place, we would have had 0 gallons spilt. Yes, a whole whopping 0 gallons. This is the whole argument the farmers and environmentalists from Iowa have been arguing.

Why all the false alarm over reactionness? Primarily because the people who have their land commandeered to run these things through over their objections don't want any oil spilled on their ground. It *might* be because the people responsible for the clean up tend to That might be why people react to it. So when they want to build a longer one...that will extend valuable water tables and land...people get kind of "alarmed" by it.

Hell, they'd probably be madder is they didn't have any gas or it cost $6 a gallon.

Imagine if we tried to spend as much on alternative fuels as we do on how to get oil out of the ground, from point A to point B, refined, from point B to point C...plus cleaning up all the messes when there is an accident and spill?

Nobody wants their land taken, but sometimes it is necessary. Hell folks in the Kenai Peninsula don't want another 38 Million gallons spilled in their sound again. But what are you willing to do; walk?

Oh, you weren't being serious...were you? But I suppose the answer is keep doing the same and don't look for other solutions because we love oil?

We are not alone on our love of oil; the rest of the world loves it too. Some are just looking for alternate sources besides being dependent on the Middle-East and countries like Russia and Venezuala. I have a freind that just had to pay about $10,000 to covert his house from Septic to sewer because the city built a new road. I'm sure he wishes folks would have went a different direction, but folks have to get places.

Alternative energies aren't really a practical replacement to oil and gas right now. So until they are, you have to deal with oil.

There was a time when we didn't care what the rest of the world did...we were innovators. But then there was a time when we didn't put profit in front of people and greed in front of new ideas. Time marches on I guess. |
