Keystone pipeline leak

[Ache4Acres]

Pretty large oil spill in ND is not good news for the battered Canadian oil markets.

Future pipelines getting harder everyday. We are headed toward a world of “dual wall” pipelines i bet just like our fuel tanks have gone

[Ache4Acres]

Big mess to cleanup

[bucket]

Simple fix .....fix hole in pipe....suck up contamination .....

Not like a train bomb .....

[farmaholic]

What percentage does that spill represent of what was moved by that pipe?
What percentage do all spills combined represent of what they move, all combined?
Safest, cheapest, most efficient way of moving it.....bar none!
Maybe they could report the spill in liters to sensationalized and dramatize the occurrence.....especially CNN.

How does this spill compare to the amount of plastic dumped in the landfills each year?

That's a nothing spill.

And the media knows it so what do they do, convert it to liters. A million litres spilled just to shock the sheep who dont know what a million or a litre even is.

Or a river black from rail cars falling into it.

Easy to see why you're a Creationist - you are constantly making stuff up. The corrupt media trying to trick people by converting the spill to litres - yet the graphic shows the spill quantified in barrels and gallons but not litres. Another day destroying your credibility on Agriville.

Good morning grass, did you crawl out of your cave.

Its a NOTHING spill. Into a ditch, nowhere near water. Media hyped it again for their climate change fraud. Converted it to litres for the headline. You can read right?

There is a 1.7 billion barrel oil spill in nortern AB courtesy of mother nature herself and it runs right into the athabasca and churchill rivers.

CBC converted everything to litres in this article even the daily flow rate of the pipeline. Patch uses bbls and m3 and they converted it all to litres to get the biggest number they could to shock simple minded people.

Why not call it a trillion millilitres per day.

Goes to comment from Bernie Sanders and Sierra Club.

Dirty MSM tactics.

Oh ffks. You and your crazy conspiracy b/s


The average person doesn't know a "cube" is a cubic meter or 1000 litres.

The average person also has no idea what a bbl/barrel is. Hell, I bet most farmers think it's a "barrel" of oil, not ~159 litres.

Everyone knows what a litre is.


If they wanted to shock and awe people, they would have converted it to millilitres.

A spill is a spill. I'm all for pipelines but this kind of cleanup actually more work than you think. Need to dig up all the dirt around the pipe and remove it, because the fractures aren't straight up to surface... and it's compromised the buffer around the pipe.

Still better than railcars falling into a river or blowing up.

The crude that got spilled isn't the problem, it's the produced water that's always an issue. This will be clean, .5 or less. Clean up will take a few days yes, but would be alot worse than if it had been 9m3 of produced water.
Why be so harsh too on the numbers? You dont think this is low hanging fruit for the leftist media going to liters? There are bigger accumulations of spilled oil on some farm yards than what got spilled here.

[Radical]

Wonder how much sewage goes into rivers and lakes every year,

[grassfarmer]

....There are bigger accumulations of spilled oil on some farm yards than what got spilled here....

More that 383,000 US gallons? Must be messy b#$%%^s.

Face it it's another epic fail by Jazz trying to create a story out of nothing. Funny how he listens to CBC given how much he claims to despise it?
Still won't comment on the Conservative dominated Standing Committee on Agriculture's poor track record of decision making though. Prefers to keep his ideology intact by making the facts negotiable.

I can’t believe that bigger leaks still go undetected. You would think that soon as there is a leak, pressure falls off on receiving end. With the technology out there today and aircraft surveillance of the line, the leak would be addressed pronto. Wth! The natural gas line between shops in our farmyard is wrapped with a detector cable.

Also why are these line failures in N. Dakota? Huh? You would think that the failures would happen where there is ground shifting like earthquake zones and eroding slopes. Not flat, sandy prairie. Wondering....

What about the billions of liters of hydrocarbon based pesticides deliberately spread across the world on an annual basis
