The Tree Huggers and the Green Parties in the USA and Canada support the Palestinians which makes me wonder if they are paid off by OPEC to stop local development in the USA and Canada. No matter what, Prime Minister Trudeau of Canada and Premier (Governor) of Alberta want carbon capture pollution controls and oil pipelines. Canada is going ahead with Oil production by pipeline or by train cars. Hanoi Jane, who has dirty oil pumped out of the ground at the Nearby Hollywood High, comes to Alberta Oil (Tar sands by enviorfascists) to preach in her JP powered helicopter to not develop 500,000 barrel a day + free, democratic Oil fields in Canada. The Natives Canadians are strangely against the pipeline when they are the ones to get some of the jobs and the Royalties. I suspect OPEC and Russia fund the Green Party on purpose to divide the people of Canada and the USA and brainwash the people with the Global Warming is caused by man narrative which is false since the ocean levels are the same since the 1950s.

Thanks for sharing the news SSG(P) (Join to see). a 15-minute response time seems reasonable in locating, isolating and closing a leak IMHO. I expect that efforts will be made to improve response time in addition to cleanup operational times.
Hopefully this was not a result of sabotage.
"The Keystone pipeline running from Canada across the Great Plains leaked Thursday morning, spilling about 5,000 barrels of oil — or 210,000 gallons — southeast of the small town of Amherst in northeast South Dakota.
The spill comes just days before a crucial decision next Monday by the Public Service Commission in Nebraska over whether to grant a permit for a new, long-delayed sister pipeline called Keystone XL, which has been mired in controversy for several years. Both are owned by Calgary-based TransCanada.
TransCanada, which has a vast network of oil and natural gas pipelines, said that the latest leak occurred about 35 miles south of the Ludden pump station, which is in southeast North Dakota, and that it was “completely isolated” within 15 minutes. The company said it obtained permission from the landowner to assess the spill and plan cleanup.
Brian Walsh, an environmental scientist manager at the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources, said that the leaking pipe was in “either a grass or an agricultural field” and that TransCanada had people at the site. Walsh said the leak was detected about 5:30 a.m."
