Oil Leak Today In Arkansas, Or why the State Dept is wrong on Keystone
At the beginning of March 2013, the American public was somewhat told by the State Department that their Environmental Impact Statement about the Keystone XL pipeline has been completed, and that there is no need to worry about any possible environmental calamities down the road.
I say the public was "somewhat told" as the news broke at 4Pm on a Friday four weeks back. This is a time in the week when most news releases fail to gain anybody's anyone's attention.
Today, word out of Arkansas indicates a leak related to the pipeline has been reported. From the photos over at 350.org, it looks like it was occurring in a rather fashionable neighborhood,k the kind of setting most people seek to raise their children. Already 165,000 gallons of oil are pouring through the neighborhood.
Om edit. Here is the photo I am referring to:

And spouse is saying this particular pipeline is not related to the actual Keystone pipeline. However since I assume that the Keystone XL pipeline will be made utilizing a similar system of pipelines, made out of similar materials, I am not sure we can expect a different outcome.
