Blackberries Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 http://news.ca.msn.com/top-stories/alberta-clipper-pipeline-restarted-after-oil-spill-south-of-regina "Enbridge Inc. says it has restarted the Alberta Clipper pipeline after is it was shut down briefly due to an oil spill in southern Saskatchewan. The leak happened at the Rowatt Station just south of Regina on Saturday just before 11 a.m. CST. It's estimated that about 125 barrels were released from the pumping station. The shut-down pipeline usually produces about 449, 000 barrels per day. The company said most of the crude oil was contained to the grounds of Rowatt Station, but high winds sprayed some of the oil onto a nearby farm field. Provincial officials including emergency response crews were notified, Enbridge said. "There is no impact to the public, wildlife or waterways," the company said in a statement released Saturday. The cause of the spill has not yet been determined, and is under investigation. The National Energy Board is also responding to the spill. An emergency response team is at the site to monitor and assess the company's immediate response. " Enbridge? Seems I know that name from some where? Funny how quiet this story seems to be in the media Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sypher009 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Gas is expensive everywhere I had to pay 1.01 a liter the other day. On a positive note this deal allows the airline I work for to open a base in Vancouver( we deal mainly in oilfield support) and I know a lot of aircraft mechanic friends in Vancouver who will be happy at all the job openings, as well as pilots, dispatchers, rampies, office staff etc. Think of the spin off industries as well. Our YVR base opens in 2014 and the pay for all positions is significantly higher then any companies in YVR pay, and I know a lot of jobless ppl who are aviation by trade who would love a job in there home town rather then in AB, up north or out in Ontario. lmfao at calling that expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonberries Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Who made them the ultimate unvoted for authority of the land? If they want to illegally start a violent campaign let them - we can then just toss them in jail. Well, we would be better served by a monarchy. Might as well be them.

Salmonberries Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 What's amazing to me is that people who are against this have no alternative solution to get the oil to Asia. It is going to get there one way or another. They just like to complain. The governments and what have you have come up with 209 conditions before any oil can move down the line. This might not be the 100% guaranteed no issues whatsoever solution, but it's the best they have right now. Transporting by vehicle would create far more chances that something goes wrong and more greenhouse gases. Do I have a better solution? Nope, I'm afraid not. Am I happy with the current solution? Not really, but I see how it's the best way right now. I didn't know oil followed a migratory pattern. Does it winter in Asia then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salmonberries Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 huh? Well, you said the oil was headed to Asia. So I assumed a migratory pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonberries Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Assumed that it must follow a migratory pattern, that is. Since it's in the ground in Canada now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonberries Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 huh? Okay, that was a joke (admittedly lame). What I don't understand is why we must resign ourselves to an eventual BP Redneck Riviera scenario. But I guess that's what we voted for eh. Too late for the cryin.'

SabreFan1 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Until people begin to offer better, cleaner, and cheaper alternative fuels, this is how the world will continue to do business. It's only going to get worse as more and more people in developing nations demand more energy in the form of fossil fuels. People need to put more effort into finding and demanding alternative sources of cost effective energy. Until we do, the reality is that fossil fuels and the ugly things that come with them are here to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Standing_Tall#37 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 It will come as a suprise to most how quickly this is commissioned, but here's something most people down south don't know....they've already been building it for over a year. It was gonna get installed no matter what. Hopefully Christie took more than just a personal payoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themcdeal Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 It's not approved. This is just the recommendation.

RUPERTKBD Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I know the "in" thing to do around here is trash Christy Clark, but I've still yet to see any evidence that she's given approval to the Enbridge Pipeline. If someone actually has evidence of her doing so, I'd love to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone actually has evidence of her doing so, I'd love to see it. It's not just about Clark. It's about representing the people of this Province. Who have been 3/4 opposed. Totally ignoring that fact and then shifting the focus on hypotheticals and trying to get a bigger piece of the pie. http://www.gatewayfacts.ca/five-conditions/ ^ The people of BC have said "no". Not "maybe" if you give us more money and have a better disaster plan. This government doesn't reflect that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a look at the posts in this thread and tell me that this is what people are complaining about. Just a few posts up, someone is suggesting a payoff...
