It's been rerouted to avoid the Sand Hills and the portions of the aquifer closest the ground's surface.

Yeah, IIRC the original route would've nearly bisected it. It's still too close for me.

I'm with you. This crap oil source is beyond a bad idea. Sour crude indeed.

Thanks Carl. It isn't worth the carbon that it will put into the air.

So then can I assume that all you folks who are against the pipeline are going to join me in a lawsuit against all those coal fired power plants in Ohio that make our well water fo fucking acid that we had to install a $1300 acid neutralizer?

Or are equally against the fracking for gas that pollutes the groundwater?

It is all the same people behaind it all.

Yes! But being West of you I will have a hard time showing damages. Truth be told with the prevailing winds our power plants send you acid rain.

From what I been readin the citizens of WVa are getting pretty upset at the coal industry over that spill. There is talk of ...the ...need ...for "Regulation"!


Face it our life style is dirty and unsustainable.
