US Pipeline Management Not Ready For New National Conduit

I've posted any number of links and items about fuel pipeline leaks in Wisconsin, Montana, Michigan, and Canada, and this weekend the The New York Times catalogued many of these spills as the feds are considering green-lighting the granddaddy pipeline of them all - - the 1,661-mile Canada-to-Texas Keystone XL tar sand crude link over the biggest underground supply of fresh water in the US.

And finds that government inspections and oversight are woefully lacking.

Not a good prescription for keeping tar sand oil in the line and out of the environment.
