Exclusive It's Leaking Already (1 Viewer)

[dviss1]

When the good people of Bismarck protested that they didn't want the Dakota access pipeline to run near they City they said that it would leak. They said that it would cause an environmental disaster. What was done about it? Fuck it will run the pipeline through native land... We don't give a shit about them. They can sit in the snow all fucking winter if they want we'll just round them up, put them in dog crates, shoot them with rubber bullets in the face and run our pipeline through there anyway...

Now the motherfucker's already leaking...

Thanks Drumpf...

I don't mean this in the typical "I blame Obama" BS way that gets posted here, but I do wish he'd have acted before leaving office. Not that Trump couldn't/wouldn't undo it like everything else, but it would have spotlighted Trump so much more...

A tank inside a pump station in the small rural town of Tulare, South Dakota, leaked about 84 gallons. The station caught it all inside a containment area made of gravel and a synthetic liner.

Any contaminated gravel was collected and stored for proper disposal, officials said.

Sounds like they have it under control. Considering the pipeline moves thousands of gallons of oil a day, 84 gallons is minuscule.

It's a pipe. Pipes get leaks. Which is why it's important to have competent people and proper response procedures in place when they do.

Oil companies have never lied about the procedures they have in place.

How much oil has to get in your food/water before you deem it unsafe for consumption?
I guess more than 84 gallons.
I'm sure the water bureau where you live is happy to hear that. Means you shouldn't mind lead poisoning either.

To me, 1 gallon of oil is too much.

By all means...if such a place exists, then I would love to move there.

There's 84 gallons of oil under the car on blocks on HCP's lawn.

I can remember service stations where and oil change was performed over grated pit dug in the ground.
The pit never filled until it was filled in. Most of those were forced out of action in the 50s.
Men make progress.

Not at all, I'd just like for people to take responsibility for their actions.
By not attempting to minimize the impact 84 gallons of oil leaking has on the environment. All because thousands of gallons move through it daily.
Not saying you are responsible for the 84 gallons leaking.

I hope the procedures in place work, but if history says anything. Oil companies lie about those procedures.
I asked a history teacher in middle school, "why is history important".
He said. "because if you don't learn from the past your doomed to repeat the mistakes made in history".
I don't trust Oil companies saying. "we have it under control, the procedures in place are adequate."

 

[stampedehero]

The surge pump leaked. I am perceiving the failure as a gasket installation mistake. Typically, manufacturers pre test their equipment before shipment. A human was the source of this problem. At least the pipeline company contained the problem as they are trained to do.

The article mentioned an "Official", not an oil company executive. Usually, the term "Official" is given to either the head of local or national government authorities. And given how much of an uproar environmentalists get about anything to do with oil, then I'm quite sure that someone, somewhere, has been keeping a very close eye on this. Which is likely why it was contained and dealt with before it got bigger.

I get skepticism...after all, I'm a gun owner....but not ever trusting anything someone says in defense of anything oil strikes me as a little....narrow-minded.

I think people on here are making way too big of a deal about 84 gallons of contained spillage. Seriously. I would trust a major oil company more than I do some mechanics in town in regards to proper oil containment.

The same very close eye that was kept on the bp before their spill?

It's not about not ever trusting people say. It's about the old saying people like to throw around.
"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me."
I hope you're not saying oil companies or the people who monitor oil companies are above corruption...
As that's like saying the DNC didn't rig the primary's for Clinton.

1 Gallon is too much, 84 Gallons is outrageous.
Even Trump said the materials they were using wasn't up to standard. Yet it was still allowed to be used because "they had already purchased the materials".

I work on cars that leak a large pancake size pool of oil overnight. All the time. Think about how many millions of old cars there are on the roads every day.

So, to sum it up people don't care if it leaks a million gallons a year all over the country but if 84 gallons are leaked but contained that is a disastrous result.

Whatever people read on Facebook is what matters amirite?

OUTRAGEOUS

 

[oldfisherman]

If you have an asphalt driveway, your property has more than 84 gallons of oil sitting on what used to be the feeding area for elk and rabbits.

The asphalt parking lot at the hospital has thousands of gallons of oil sitting on what used to be the deer’s birthing area.

The asphalt freeways have millions of gallons of oil sitting on what used to be the game animals travel route to better seasonal feeding areas.

Just putting the oil damage to the environment topic in prospective.

You know I remember back in the 80s how my grandpa washed his hands in gasoline. He was an old fashioned hunter outdoorsman. Yet, I recall he had a big barrel on a concrete pad he used to store old oil. Seems strange that he'd care but he also had a garden and we had a well for our water so that's probably why.

What the fuck? Just because I don't believe there was corruption involved here, you assume that I think that they are above corruption?

What the fuck is wrong with you? You tried this assumption bullshit twice now; you covered it nicely in your last post. But you need to get off my ass about it.

1 Gallon is too much, 84 Gallons is outrageous.

ALL I am saying here is that this is unrealistic. Pipes develop leaks. It is exposed to extreme conditions, and it is carrying a LOT of weight. Cracks develop, seals wear out, joints loosen, and leaks develop. There is NO SUCH THING as an oil pipeline that never leaks.

That is ALL I am saying here. You can bitch and moan about 84 gallons all you want, but it REALLY is minuscule in comparison to how much oil that pipeline carries per day.

It's even more stupid to assume that a leak automatically equals "corruption". Sometimes, a leak is just a leak.

Now fuck off with your assumptions.

My truck/my gf's car don't leak a single drop of fluid due to the preventative maintenance I perform.
Oil companies have shown they don't do enough of this.
Shall I link another south park meme? Or quote my history teacher again?

I can't change the habits of those people whom have cars you work on. But I also don't have to ad to the problem just because everyone else is doing it.
Reminds me of the stories I heard as a child from adults. "I started smoking because everyone else my age was. But don't you do it!"
Ha don't worry I'm not a simply minded fool who picks up a habit to fit in~

Preventative maintenance. Hmm if only "Officials" and Oil companies knew what that term meant.

When I gave you the chance to clarify your response(instead of be sarcastic) you choose to take it as I'm making assumptions. Then get heated and tell me to fuck off?
Maybe I should have been more clear, or maybe you should have made a conscious decision to not speak in such a way.
Either way it looks like we're both wrong due to a failure to communicate.
However I have my doubts you won't come back with a similar response to this post...

So... to sum up.
I don't accept your answer because you don't choose to accept mine.
Will end the conversation there because this isn't worth it to me.

SIGNS OF OIL BOOMLET IN NORTH DAKOTA AFTER PIPELINE FINISHED

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) -- There are hundreds more jobs than takers in the heart of North Dakota's oil patch. Finding a hotel room, parking space or table at a restaurant is no longer easy.

More than two years after the state's unprecedented oil bonanza fizzled to a lull, North Dakota - the nation's No. 2 oil producer behind Texas - is experiencing a sort of boomlet that has pushed daily production back above 1 million barrels daily.

Everything you own is because of oil. The computer or phone you use to type on here is because of oil.

Say you don't want oil, don't say you don't want oil to be able to be moved from one place to the other. Where that pipeline was put is a debate people can have but freaking out over 84 gallons that was contained is crying wolf.

Oh, and preventive maintenance doesn't stop cars from leaking oil. May postpone it if anything. A leak is a failure that will eventually happen. Modern cars with modern o ring type seals are vastly superior to older cars. If you're tearing down a non leaking engine every 20000 miles and resealing it then you can preach about preventive maintenance.

You may also want to patent those seals you've invented that never wear from heat or contaminants or friction. I would love them.

The problem is that repairing them is expensive and we live in a time when most Americans can't scrape together 400 dollars or some such ridiculous amount.

I'm sure dude's truck gets 80 mpg. Hope it's a work truck. I want a truck because I like them but I can't justify a 17mpg vehicle for my commute and the occasional Costco trip. My focus gets worse mileage than I expected but it is 14 years old so I just kept a neat car out of the junkyard and nobody had to make me a new one.

Who needs a truck????

Honki,

I think the point is, if one is to get up in arms about an oil spill, aren't there many other ways we use oil that is much more of an impact to the environment than the quoted story that would garner such emotion?

Where is the thread about the new lane being added to the freeway and how much pollution goes into CREATING that lane with the machinery, not to mention what is actually in the asphalt.
Ever work for the DOT? Or know anyone that does? The fumes around those machines can make you sick!

Smell heavy traffic on the freeway in 90% weather and it reeks.

We all want/strive for perfection, but to demand it is simply unrealistic and will lead to a life of constant disappointment. Trust me. It's something I struggle with. How to be at peace with less than perfection.
But man. Shit happens you know? Everything is in constant movement and as harmonious as it is, it is not perfection. Or it is an imperfect perfection. Things are going to collide. Shit is gonna break.
Mother Nature is not controllable and mostly not predictable.
This is life.
