- please forward widely-
Alberta continues to suffer from a rash of oil spills.
Enbridge's pipeline carrying heavy oil sands crude, spilled some 230,000
litres in eastern Alberta on Monday, June 18th. On June 7th, a Plains
All American Pipeline spilled up to 480,000 litres into the Red Deer
river threatening the drinking water supply of tens of thousands of
Alberta. And on May 19th, Pace Oil & Gas Ltd. spilled over 100,000
litres of oil near Rainbow Lake.
Unfortunately pipeline spills are not a rare occurrence in Alberta. In
2010, the province averaged nearly two pipeline failures a day. Enough
is enough.
