Having been to the OIL sands many times – this is not what it looks like. In fact it looks like sand which was placed there by nature. Obviously the idiot who tried to claim this picture represented the OIL sands has never been there.
A pipeline leaked near Mayflower, Arkansas:
“Exxon’s Pegasus pipeline, which can carry more than 90,000 barrels per day (bpd) of crude from Patoka, Illinois to Nederland, Texas, was shut after the leak was discovered late Friday afternoon in a subdivision near the town of Mayflower. The leak forced the evacuation of 22 homes.”
Unfortunately, the mess won’t be cleaned up (and images of the newly restored and upgraded properties promulgated) before the damage to “pipelines” is done by the press and the eco-nuts.
