When the PennEast pipeline company was attempting to run a pipeline through our farm, we were constantly reassured that modern pipelines were safe, didn’t leak, didn’t pose any danger.
The Keystone pipeline began operation in 2010. It carries oil from Canadian tar sands to refineries in the U.S. Earlier last week the pipeline ruptured in Kansas, spilling 14,000 barrels of oil. 14,000 barrels equals 588,000 gallons.
While this was the largest spill from the Keystone Pipeline, it was not the first. It has happened on Keystone 22 times before.
