The following is news to me........I thought the reference to a bad week for the oil industry was the NO vote in Kitimat, not so! ALL THESE SPILLS AND ACCIDENTS - I have not seen ONE mainstream media report on them! Accidents are REAL and causing untold environmental harm - lets not let that happen here!!! :) The last two weeks have been bad ones for the oil industrys public image. A 2,200-barrel Alberta spill last Monday was followed just two days later by a spill in Minnesota. A broken pipe at Suncor Energy Inc. contaminated the Athabasca River in Alberta the very next day. Then on Friday, a residential Arkansas community was dumped with 10,000 barrels of crude, forcing 22 homes to be evacuated. Then, a Canadian Pacific freight train derailed in northwestern Ontario and one of the 22 cars affected is leaking crude oil. And CP was off by an order of magnitude about the impacts from that spill. A Shell pipeline later burst in Texas, dumping over 30,000 gallons into nearby waterways.
