It’s my understanding any crude from the Dakota’s that’s not needed for the refineries in the Twin Cities, and Superior WI., would be sent southbound in the Keystone. IIRC, the crude from WY, CO, UT is sent to Artisia NM., right Joe? |

I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.

It pipes Canadian crude to a pump on the gulf coast that puts it into tankers. It's of no value to the U.S. other than the jobs that will be created when there are bursts.

Well we sure would not to take money away from Bill Gates railroad. So somebody has to stop the pipeline.
Just another reason for gas prices to go up. Makes country hicks think it's time for a battery car. I knew that did not sound right Buffet's train. Billionaire is billionaire right. We all add our money together and still not have as much as them.

The fear of broken pipelines is so overhyped, it's pathetic. JMHO

Don’t worry John, there are spurs along the route where refineries can purchase off that pipeline if the price is right. Warren Buffet is happy, more crude on trains. |

YEP... a STATIONARY pipe line setting on the ground is a lot more DANGEROUS than 500,000 Semi Trailers driving down the icy highway at 70 MPH with 6000 gallons of diesel in tow !!

we have pipeline failures here in our county all the time Darrel. only one death from them so far. some are buried pretty deep, and with the past flooding some have floated up, several farmers have caught them with their rippers and plows and have hit them with their disks. have seem patches over bullet holes shot in some them that cross ditches and creeks. one year the company dig up the pipeline thru our place, it was still deep, they were looking for a leak they thought they had, even tho they paid us good for the crop damage, it was still a $^#*@ to harvest, the ground was soft and when the combine came to the fill dirt, we were almost instantly stuck. didn't help matters when the line went diagonal thru the fields.

I wasn't really calling you out individually, Shameless. I can see your point. But I still have a butt sore from a world famous pipeline protest that we had in our state a few years ago, that was about everything except opposing a pipeline. Bastards made a bigger environmental mess than a million barrel crude oil leak would have caused. The supposed theme of the protest was "the extraction and transportation of fossil fuels." Well the head honcho that called for the protests owned a c store that sells gasoline (I think that's a fossil fuel) and during the protests, sold four times the normal amount. (Maybe slightly hypocritical...?) I could go on and on about, but my blood pressure might rise. But just one more comment; every time there is a pipeline break, the news has to make it sound as bad as possible; give the spillage in gallons vs barrels. One of these days they'll give it in fluid oz. Darrel

Yes Enbridge proposes to replace the dual pipeline under the Straits of Mackinac with a bedrock tunnel that would contain any possible spills in the future. Enbridge is being opposed by our current Governor and Attorney General who has ordered the current pipeline under the Straits shut down which puts people in the Upper Peninsula and workers at refineries at Sarnia Onterio and Toledo Ohio in jeopardy of higher fuel costs and unemployment. Instead working to find a solution they are playing to the environmentalists and politics.Our Governor has chosen to oppose even the bedrock tunnel. Also the Attorney General is prosecuting the former Republican Governor on a misdemeanor charge relating to the Flint water crisis that was the Flint water boards choice to not properly treat the water that led to the crisis! My thoughts are the Governor and Attorney General want to drag this pipeline banning out hoping the pipeline will leak so they can say we told you so just like the Dam break at Midland!

I would think that a double wall pipe could be used. The inside pipe would carry the oil and the outside would have a vacuum, then if there was ever oil coming at the vacuum pump you would know there was a leak.

The existing pipeline was caught by a careless ship dragging its anchor. Burying in bedrock solves that problem.
