Canadian Oil Might Contaminate American Aquifers
Ay-pee article. Summary: State legislators are meeting to consider shifting the alignment of the Trans-Canada pipeline because a spill that might happen someday might possibly damage the Ogallah aquifer. Environmental review is complete, waiting on the State Department, due to Canadian origin of the pipe line and oil (700,000 bpd from tar sands). Meanwhile, Keystone Pipeline is running radio ads saying how many jobs and what a big increase in the tax base will result from this pipeline project, not to mention the reduction in the dependence on foreign oil. Greenies and NIMBYs and their legions of attorneys waiting in the wings to shift the pipeline far enough away that the environmental review will have to be done over. Posted by: Bobby 2011-11-03 |
