I have no idea, but safety should be a priority ,and it isn't obviously.
On Jan. 30, an estimated 600,000 gallons, or 14,285 barrels' worth, of oil spewed out of Enbridge’s Seaway Pipeline in Blue Ridge, Texas.
The rupture is the second spill since the pipeline opened for business less than 1 year ago.
