Despite Protests, Biden’s War on Pipelines, Oil and Gas Flowing from Canada to U.S. at Record Volumes
Penny Starr 9 Jun 2021
Police were called to the Enbridge Inc. Line 3 pipeline in Minnesota earlier this week after protestors shackled themselves to the equipment being used to modernize and expand the infrastructure, in service since 1968, shipping crude oil from Alberta, Canada, to Midwest U.S. refiners.
The protesters, mostly white according to photographs accompanying a Reuters report, said they stand with indigenous people who believe the pipelines are a threat to waterways despite no evidence to back up the claims.
In fact, Enbridge puts out an annual safety report detailing spills. In 2020 statistics included seven spills, all on Enbridge property. The total release volume was 943 barrels:
Of those 943 barrels, 880 barrels were spilled at Enbridge facilities, fully contained within our facilities, and cleaned up with little or no environmental impact. To put this number in perspective, 63 barrels—the amount we spilled outside our facilities in 2020—are a small fraction of a single rail car, and Enbridge’s pipeline network delivers about 25 percent of the crude produced in North America. With a safe delivery record of 99.999975 percent, 2020 was one of the best years in our company history in terms of leak performance.
