A FN note to my MP about Pipelines
Hi David, just reported some research I have unearthed about oil spills compared to pipeline spills. http://www.api.org/ehs/water/spills/upload/356-Final.pdf Fairly unbiased, with a plethora of information that either side could use. The average ending in 2007, (dated by publication not arbitrary selection) was 27.11 barrels leaked per billion miles according to this assessment. Urban run-off contributes 10 times more oil pollution period. And oil seeps from natural sources are 5.81 times greater than all human oil spill from all sources combined. Or, 14,631.159 times more than spills in gross barrels from all the pipelines in the US. That equals .000002581l per billion spilled.
