TC Energy reopened most of the 2,700-mile Keystone system last week. The system carries crude oil extracted from tar sands in western Canada to the Gulf Coast, with a spur also moving crude to south-central Illinois.and larger than 22 previous spills on the Keystone system combined, according to U.S. Department of Transportation data. The company received permission to reopen the pipeline across Kansas and into northern Oklahoma from the Department of Transportation’s pipeline safety arm.
Concerns that spills could pollute waterways spurred opposition to plans by TC Energy to build another crude oil pipeline in the same system, the 1,200-mile Keystone XL, across Montana, South Dakota and Nebraska. President Joe Biden’s cancelation of a permit for the project led the company toThe company has not identified the Kansas spill’s cause. Zack Pistora, who lobbies at the Kansas Statehouse for the Sierra Club, said the pipeline segment shouldn’t reopen until the cause is known.
Meanwhile, some Democrats in the Republican-controlled Legislature want to reconsider the state’s policy of exempting companies from local property taxes for 10 years if they build pipelines through Kansas to spur energy development. Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly in an interview this week that the policy was “a big mistake” and should have been reconsidered “a long time ago.”
Money talks and Liberal BS walks!
Is that like 36000 60l storage containers?
Who can imagine what 14,000 bathtubs holds? No one? I prefer either Olympic sized swimming pools or teacupfuls.
Are 'bathtubs' a unit of measurement now? Americans will use anything to avoid the metric system.
The owners of the company should be heavily fined.
Folks commenting more on your bathtubs as a unit of measure, rather than the pipeline spill itself or that it's been approved to reopen.
How much is a “bathtubs worth”? Is this a new method for measurement? How many coffee pots would that be equal to? How many milkshakes worth? How many dirty diapers worth?
14,000 bathtubs? What kind of unit of measure is that? How is that helpful
Who came up with “14,000 bathtubs” as a measurement? 😂😂😂
Should’ve used thimble-fulls, would’ve been even more dramatic.
Is this in African bathtubs or European bathtubs? (This is a Monty Python reference for you youngsters)
United States will use anything but the metric system
We measure oil in bathtub sizes now?
That's 588.000 gallons. Don't down play this.
Bathtubs, huh? 14,000 bathtubs’ worth of heavy crude oil.
I’m Sure the FRAUDULENT BID3N ADMINISTRATION IS BEHIND ANY AND ALL DEBAUCHERY!!! THATS THEIR M O ! NEGATIVITY!!!
Again, 's level of journalistic credibility has gone totally down the (bathtub) drain.
Since when did bathtubs become a unit of measure?
Interesting when did we start measuring oil in bathtub units instead of barrels?
Who is the editor that signs off this mess, related to the government employee who signed off on the reopen of the “REPAIRED SEGMENT”~ COMPLETE INCOMPETENCE!
Bathtubs? Wow ok. So Google says a standard bathtub is 42 gallons. So that’s 588,000 gallons of heavy crude oil.
How much is that if you normally 'shower' in oil? (It's more environmentally friendly than a bath)
Remember all those protests over the Keystone Pipeline? Now you know why.
Anyone have the conversion to punch bowls? I only measure quantities in punch bowls
Are bathtubs and barrels related?
Anonymous sources have since suggested that if the spill was 13,000 urinal’s worth, they would not have been given permission to re-open
Why don’t you equate bathtubs to barrels of oil?
I always thought oil was measured in barrels.
