And the more that we try to move heavy oil around, the more dangerous it is.

once it settles into the ground and the homes concrete and basements. I don't care how much cleanup they do, the smell never will. They are going to have to dig out all that soil.

Much larger than the news first reported. I edited "small" from the topic title.

We used to pride ourselves on our state's natural resources, but we're becoming a model Koch-state with the EPA letting Georgia Pacific dump into the water. Cancer spikes are occurring around the plant too. Now the frackers are everywhere. It's going to be a wasteland.

you get the local boys who get the bright idea to create a massive hog farm within 500 feet of a major tributary of the Buffalo River -- one of the few remaining clean rivers in the nation. They used deceit and a number of shady corporate tricks to set things up so that construction would be underway before the community became aware of their dastardly deed.

and are conducting air quality testing just to prove it!

They don't care.

You could paint the world with black crude and they wouldn't care as long as it didn't hurt the bottom line, which this won't.

That hamburger helper you ate last night.... The cow was wrapped in it, the noodles were packed in it, the box was made with it, and it was all delivered by boats/trains/trucks powered by it. You could even break it down further saying the grass the cow ate was fertilized with it, the the plastic was made by petro powered equipment, the computers that organized the shipments were built with it....... Nearly EVERYTHING we touch today has some involvement with petroleum and petrochemicals.

and scope of our amitious job for the future which is off to a bangup start - just needs a big oldfashioned OBAMAPUSH

people who live in the area. How horrible. Wherever there is a pipeline, there will be a spill or leak. It's just a matter of when.
