[QUOTE="Retired Educator, post: 122816, member: 3373"] Perhaps this is a good idea but I thought I heard on the news today that the recent pipeline failure NW of Belfield was a pipe that had been replaced not long ago. Maybe required maintenance instead of total replacement would serve as well. It is also speculated that for some reason the monitoring device failed to sense the leak. Will be interesting to see the reason for the leak when all is said and done. In the end, regardless of how oil is moved we are going to have cleanup from accidents. The one pipeline that I don't hear much about and has moved millions of barrels of oil is the huge pipeline in Alaska. Remember the concern about that pipeline when it was being built.Leaks were going to be a problem, caribou would never be able to migrate, etc. Now I don't ever hear about it. I'm sure there have been leaks and issues but it seems like they are taken care of somehow. As long as we are moving oil we will have to clean it up occasionally. [/QUOTE]
