Google it :

In Glendale Montana, a 12" pipeline burst, dumping tens of thousands of gallons of oil into the Yellowstone River, used as drinking water by Glendale. Williston North Dakota also gets their drinking water from the same river.

But now get this : Williston North Dakota also just had a pipeline rupture. This time, 3 Million Gallons of toxic drilling byproduct, which spilled into the blacktail creek. It is the largest spill in the state's history.

There has been 3 more including a natural gas pipeline that just exploded today.

My point is, is that this is the oil and gas and coal industry. They are having an insane amount of very damaging accidents that leave poisoned land and water behind, with no way to really clean them up. This very same industry keeps telling you that everything is fine, everything is ok. Those very same people also try very hard to get regulations out of the way, so they can keep doing the same things, causing the same damage, without responsibility.

How can you keep defending them?






Tens of thousands of gallons of oil into the Yellowstone River in Montana. This is the SECOND time it has happened to this river.
