“TransCanada has stated their pipelines are safe with a low risk of spills. But obviously, this isn’t true. While we are extremely happy that the Keystone XL pipeline was rejected by President Obama, this spill highlights the clear and present danger such oil infrastructures still place upon the land, sacred waters, communities and landowners along their routes. This spill also demonstrates why the Obama administration needs to require full environmental reviews of other crude oil pipeline projects such as Enbridge’s Alberta Clipper and Energy Transfer’s Dakota Access pipeline. The best proactive action to all this is to keep such fossil fuels in the ground, not extract them, and enact a just transition to renewable energy. ”
