Where is that oil from Keystone going?

[overgrowem]

When oil spills in the ocean, why don't thousands of fish wash ashore?

DUH......BP.......everything washed ashore.......What didn't rotted where it sank...

Add some soap and watch a miracle.

Add soap?

That would poison the water.

 

[overgrowem]

if something doesn't mix with water, how will it poison the water?

Tar won't mix. Oil won't mix.. Every volatile gas that oil and tar contain will jump at the chance to mix..Haven't U seen the fracking faucets?

Can we use the water to heat our homes then?

Hope U do, seal your house tight,save some money, and spend a cozy winter..

They do mix, thats the problem. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_sulfide

And thats just one chemical present in crude oil.

Contaminate not poison. Taste bad, yes. Give U diarrhea, possibly. Poison ? Maybe ur gold fish.

I tried to post this on this thread but it somehow was posted in another thread. Maybe I was just too stoned:

This is all political bs.

The Keystone XL is the proposed pipeline. There already is a Keystone pipeline. As for the Oglala Aquifer, that's bs too. There are already hundreds of miles of pipelines of all different kinds running over it.

I'd also like to add that as you can see, the Keystone pipeline ALREADY goes over the aquifer.

And every thing they carry can be cleaned up.What's Ur approach to cleaning up a Tar Sands Oil spill???

from your link: "Small amounts of hydrogen sulfide occur in crude petroleum" emphasis added.
Natural gas is where the H2S is, after all, hydrogen sulfide is a GAS, not a liquid.

 

[Grandpapy]

Think molecules not tank cars. Ever drive up a long grade in the summer time behind a lot of cars and smell sulfur. That "gas" made it from the well, to the lac unit, rail head, refinery, retail outlet and now out your exhaust.

Dilution is not the solution.

 

[ginwilly]

Can you prove that any of these were done on purpose by directive of one of the Koch brothers? Or were these unintentional accidents?

If BNSF has a train crash and spills oil, do we all get to point the finger at the Oracle of Omaha (if you know who that is) and blame him personally for it?

That depends on his politics doesn't it?

But it washes out all the potty mouth. And if you spit just right, light a candle, and watch the fireworks.

You don't know what kind of soap I use, or how much I'd add...

I don't have one as I don't deal with that particular environmental issue at work, but I'm sure it can be cleaned.


You may like the environment, or even love it, but I sample it, I analyze it, and then figure out how to clean it all up without exposing other people and the environment to more harm. I have no problems with the Keystone XL, nuclear power, etc. I'm not the nimby type.

Is he chairman of the board or just the major stock holder

The aquifer is underground. How you going to clean it up?
Tar sands clean up is packing the dirt up and either processing it or dumping it into a lined pit. What are you going to do with a gigantic lake of freshwater that covers thousands of square miles under 3 states that is up to 1000 feet deep?

What are they doing now? There are already pipelines running over it including Keystone.

Yes I should have said mitigated not cleaned up.

the existing Keystone doesnt run over the sandhills.

 

[NLXSK1]

the existing Keystone doesnt run over the sandhills.

So if it avoided the sandhills you would have no problem with it?
