I was just thinking the same thing. All this "look at what happens when oil pipelines are built!" is just nonsense for not building new ones. If there are no new pipelines (Keystone XL), these old ones will continue to have issues. Some are 60 - 70 years old!

Seeing this spill should really be insentive to build new pipelines. All people see is "OIL = SPILLS = BAD!"
