Another day, another gas pipeline bursts—this time in West Virginia, about an hour away from Pittburgh and near the Ohio River.
A number of residents have said they saw what appeared to be a large fireball burning in the sky.
Brooke County Sheriff Chuck Jackson said the explosion is near the former riding stables on Archer Hill Road in Colliers, WV. Jackson said no injuries have been reported and no structural damage has occurred, but several area roads have been closed because of burning gas.
It appears only one home was evacuated and the fire eventually burnt off. At least one home and one power line has been damaged. There were no injuries. The cause of the explosion is still unknown.this time limited destruction and that is not a good argument for pipelines had it been oil could have burned and followed the leak wherever it went gas evaporates and rises as it is lighter than air oil however especially added weight of tar sands will just go where the momentum takes it water reserves to crops to your backdoor they are not safe too many things that threaten the integrity of the construction especially since they plan to use foreign steel on Keystone, also ote after repeated rebuking of that oil not staying here now we here it is change of plan or becessity to fool the public?

Senate rejects GOP environment, energy proposals
Most analysts agree that more Canadian oil flowing south would help reduce imports from other regions. Less obvious, however, is the fact that the Keystone XL pipeline is not actually needed to bring all that new Canadian oil to the US – a flow now projected to rise to 1.7 million barrels per day by 2030, according to the same DOE study. Often characterized by proponents as validating the need for the pipeline, that study actually found that Canadian oil import growth will go on at “almost identical” levels through 2030 using existing and new pipeline capacity as well as rail shipments – whether or not Keystone XL is built.
ask yourself why are republicans fighting so hard to get this when what we have now will create the same security and why wasn't this "it will be used in US now when months of rebuking never got rebuke itself? who's zoomin' who???
