Big bang theory - Keystone oil pipeline shut down

The Keystone Pipeline was shut down after a "bang" was reported Tuesday morning in North Dakota, according to Bill Suess, spill investigation program manager with the North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality. "An employee on a pump station heard what was described as a mechanical bang" at 7:44 a.m., Suess told CBS News, adding that the employee immediately shut down the pipeline and notified emergency personnel. South Bow, a liquid pipelines business that has managed the pipeline since 2024, said control center leak detection systems detected a pressure drop in the system. The company said a shutdown and response was initiated at approximately 7:42 a.m. The affected segment has been isolated, South Bow said, and operations and containment resources have been mobilized to the site. The rupture occurred at milepost 171, near Fort Ransom, South Bow said.

Remember when Keystone was the liberal freakout issue of the Obama administration. To be replaced by Buttery Males/Superpredators for Hillary and FrEe! PaLEstINE!1! for Biden/Kamala.

And suddenly liberal concern and protests over those issues disappeared right after a Republican was elected who actually quadrupled down on that stuff once in office?

Libs are such gullible, easily influenced dopes. Not that MAGAts are much better ...

Censored is just a reactionary,situational kind of idiot.

Keystone was hated for good reason. It's an unnecessary and actually redundant pipeline moving sludgy, hard to refine, dirty and not very good oil to market for Canada. They can pipe it to the Pacific within Canada. Or better yet, just leave that crap oil in the ground, where it should stay.

Always taking a stupid and venial position on everything,not just Genocide and Ethnic cleansing, huh Censored?

Scum of the Retort, Phony, Trump knob polisher and generally ---- human being.

Go to Israel and get killed by Hamas,or better, by the IDF....

That has been operational for 15 years.

Still not needed. And no reason to be extended to Louisiana.

Crap oil should be left in the ground. Why can't the Canadians refine their own garbage shale drippings?

True. Texas is far enough.
