While on the one hand, I still can't believe stuff like this occurs, and governments have not banned pipelines altogether, I know first hand that these companies know good and well that this will eventually happen, and they don't care.

the spilled gasoline appears to be contained at the site

Appears to be?

I heard gas went up $1 today at least one place in AL. (yesterday, at this point?)

Yet they keep wanting to build pipelines.

So 250,000 gallons of gasoline spilled into lakes, rivers, and forests, and the "emergency" is that there might be a temporary shortage on the market, rather than anything about, say, wildlife or drinking water?
