#Keystone #oil #pipeline was operating at bounds of its #permit when it burst & released almost 13,000 barrels of oil in northern #Kansas , an executive from the company said Tuesday.

Gary Salsman, VP of field operations for #TCEnergy, which owns #KeystonePipeline testified in joint meeting of two Kansas House committees. He fielded pointed questions from #lawmakers about the cause of the #OilSpill, #cleanup & their #concerns about TC Energy’s #transparency .

A viral tweet about a #KeystonePipeline spill in December didn't contain citations, so we looked into it, only to find that it was true:

"You cannot see the damage done by the leaking #KeystonePipeline even though you told us it would leak. It is getting cleaned up, pinky swear!"

We need to stop building new pipelines and make sure the ones we have are 100% monitored and in good repair. Also, the operators should have to pay 100% of the cleanup cost PLUS fines.

Why the #KeystonePipeline #OilSpill in #Kansas Is So Hard to Clean Up https://gizmodo.com/keystone-oil-spill-kansas-cleanup-diluted-bitumen-1849912313

They aren't looking hard enough. Disgusting, irresponsible and effing entirely predictable.

Cleanup is underway for the US’s second-largest tar sands oil spill. Experts say it’ll be harder than past leaks. It's all about the kind of oil that gets spilled. #KeystonePipeline #TarSands

At the time of the spill, the pipeline was operating at 80 percent of the maximum recommended rate, which is allowed under a 2007 permit granted to the pipeline company...Normally, crude oil pipelines can’t operate above 72 percent of this rate.

Hey. Remember when how oil goons tell us "This new pipeline won't leak! Don't worry about it! just let us build it!"

Every pipeline. Every method they use for extraction leaks. Pollutes the ground. The rivers. The oceans. Everything around them.

News article about the Keystone spill discusses whether it will impact oil supplies and pricing, and my skull just exploded from the number of "Are you fecking kidding me?"s rushing to get out. That's what you're worried about?!!

Another helpfully informative piece from historian Heather Cox Richardson, this one centered on the Keystone Pipeline rupture in Kansas & the resulting “largest land-based crude pipeline spill in the U.S. in nine years”:

Wait you’re telling me that the #KeystonePipeline ruptured just near a creek like its critics said it would. Gosh who could have predicted.

„Durch ein Leck in der umstrittenen Keystone-Pipeline sind im US-Bundesstaat Kansas mehr als zwei Millionen Liter Öl ausgelaufen. Sollten sich die Schätzungen, wäre es nach Angaben von Aktivisten die größte Katastrophe dieser Art in den USA seit 2013.“ @diezeit
