A pipeline leak has spilled tens of thousands of gallons of crude oil into a North Dakota creek roughly two and a half hours from Cannon Ball, where protesters are camped out in opposition to the Dakota Access pipeline. https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/pipeline-spills-176-000-gallons-192837222.html |

I can't imagine why these treehuggers don't want another pipeline

176,000 gallons is not a lot of crude. I also expect them to clean it up. Compared to the EPA created pollution "The Environmental Protection Agency took responsibility Friday for inadvertently polluting a Colorado river with 1 million gallons of toxic orange wastewater while trying to clean up an abandoned gold mine." this is barely newsworthy. I expect all liberals to protest and stop using their cars from this date forward. |

"ABOUT...not a definite or accurate assessment of the total spillage. It is a merely a crude estimate of how much crude oil is on the ground. In all likelihood it is a low estimate since conservative pundits love to under report the truth. |

If anyone recalls what environmental damage the Exxon Valdez did to the coastline of Alaska we should be concerned. |

How many gallons of crude is required to initiate cause and effect? |

I'm not sure, I can assume it depends on where it was spilled, in a river, on dry uninhabited land.....either way the people that are responsible should indeed be charged with cleaning it up. Other damages incurred by private people and businesses should also be assessed. |

I assume they will clean it up or face a wave of litigation and bad public relations. Edited by PATruth, Dec 13 2016, 01:30 PM.

The oil industry will demand an environmental impact study of hundreds of thousands of gallons of raw sewage spilled by demonstrators....................

176000 gallons is roughly equivalent to a train accident where 6 tanker rail cars breach. It is also about the same as 20 tractor trailer accidents involving oil transport. If you don't have pipelines then the oil will be transported by one of these other two methods, both of which are far, far less reliable and both of which have far more accidents annually. |
