Ya cause big oil cant loose a few days profit to beef up lines around environmental treasures like the Yellowstone
I understand supply and demand and if you think this pipeline was in any way supporting a vast majority of America your off your rocker. Without oil I wouldn't have employment, I have worked in and around the field a long time and the corners Ive seen and heard of cut are insane and greed drives them. Safety and environmental awareness has exploded in the last few years however I think its a little to late when stories like this keep popping up.
