50,000 Gallons Of Crude Oil Spills Into Partially Frozen Yellowstone River
The 12-inch diameter steel pipe breached and spilled anywhere from 12,600 to 50,000 barrels of oil nine miles upriver from the town of Glendive, with an unknown amount of it spilling into the partially frozen river, according to a statement from Bridger Pipeline LLC. The company said the spill occurred at 10 a.m. and they “shut in” the flow of oil just before 11 a.m. — meaning that though the pipeline section could still empty itself of its contents, no new addition oil would flow into the spilled area.
“Oil has made it into the river,” Bridger spokesperson Bill Salvin confirmed to the AP on Monday. “We do not know how much at this point.” Observers spotted oil, some of which was trapped under the ice, up to 25 miles downstream from Glendive. This photo from the Billings Gazette shows the oil visible through the icy river from the air.

From the article Boutons posted. You know the Keystone spill is coming. Oil kuuntts.
The proposed — and controversial — northern leg of the Keystone XL pipeline would be three times the diameter of the breached Bridger pipeline, and pump more than 34 million gallons of oil per day through the Dakotas down into Nebraska and into the southern leg in Oklahoma and Texas. Many landowners and local residents are concerned about what a potential spill would mean for critical watersheds and aquifers — not to mention what subsequent increased tar sands oil production means for Canadian watersheds.
Keystone XL Owner Files Eminent Domain Proceedings For Nebraska Land
TransCanada, the company behind the Keystone XL pipeline, filed eminent domain proceedings against 90 Nebraska landowners Tuesday to gain access to the final acreage needed to build the controversial project.
“Eminent domain is a last resort and our first priority is always to negotiate voluntary agreements with landowners,” TransCanada’s Keystone projects land manager Andrew Craig said in a written statement.
“We have made numerous offers to negotiate generous agreements with landowners,” he said. “We have waited as long as we could under state law before beginning the process — as we said we would.”
TransCanada’s eminent domain filings are the latest step in a years-long war over the pipeline, which can’t go forward without President Barack Obama’s go-ahead.
Nebraska is currently the project’s most contentious battlefield. A 2012 law allowed the Nebraska governor to bypass the state Public Service Commission and give the $5.3 billion TransCanada project the go-ahead. Approval for the current route was granted in 2013.

Keystone Senate Yea Votes: Seven Times More Oil & Gas Money
Senators who voted to push through development of the Keystone XL pipeline today have received, on average, $570,034 in contributions to their campaigns and leadership PACs from the oil and gas industry over the course of their careers.
The 35 senators who voted against bill have received, on average, just $78,641 from the industry.

100% corruption
http://rightwingnews.com/democrats/v...against-obama/Bowing to the pressure of socialist, enviro-Nazis, Barack Hussein Obama vetoed the Keystone XL Pipeline despite that both houses of Congress passed the jobs/energy bill and most Americans approve of the project. This week the Senate failed to override the veto but eight Senators voted against Obama.
"the jobs/energy bill and most Americans approve of the project"
jobs!
energy!... will be refined/exported.
"Most Americans" ... are TeeVee informed!
Meh, seems like there's more than enough oil.

heard a couple days ago that "full" oil storage, was really about 60% full.
so why has SA gas jumped from $1.72 to $2.20+ in a couple weeks? speculators? raising the price "because they can"?
I'll take $2.20 over $3.20.
Way to answer the question.
I'll take $1.70- over $2.20+

As Internal Do ents Show Major Overreach, Why Is FBI Spying on Opponents of Keystone XL Pipeline?
A new report confirms for the first time that the FBI spied on activists in Texas who tried to stop the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline. Do ents from the FBIreveal it failed to get approval before it cultivated informants and opened its investigation, which was run from its Houston field office.
The files do ent "substantial non-compliance" with Department of Justice rules. The Tar Sands Blockade mentioned in that report was one of the main groups targeted by the FBI.
Agents in Houston office also told TransCanada they would share "pertinent intelligence regarding any threats" to the company in advance of protests.
We are joined by Adam Federman, contributing editor to Earth Island Journal and co-author of the new investigation published by The Guardian, "Revealed: FBI violated its own rules while spying on Keystone XL opponents."
In February, he also revealed how the FBI has recently pursued environmental activists in Texas, Pennsylvania, Oregon, Washington and Idaho for "little more than taking photographs of oil and gas industry installations."

Repugs OUTRAGED that their fradulent "social welfare" dark money orgs were exclusively "targeted" (they weren't) by IRS, but will Repugs be outraged that FBI criminalizes dissent against BigOil?
boots getting that truth-out
In typical ST rightwingnut non-comment, Darrin has NOTHING TO SAY about FBI spying on political dissenters.
Using the federal govt. to punish your political opponents is pretty f'ed up. IRS says o.
the FBI apparenlty BROKE THE LAW to spy on XL protesters.
Who used FBI to punish political opponents?
We have overcome... for now.
Waiting for the price of oil to recover? Afraid Barry's got nothing to lose and is ready to appease the environmentalists?
environmentalists want to appease the planet. You're welcome to tag alone.
BigOil, Kock Bros
