On Monday, a disastrous leak in one of the world’s largest pipeline systems gushed over 1 million gallons of oil into the Kalamazoo River, located in southwest Michigan. Already, Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm has declared the area a disaster zone, quickly activating State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) to ensure all state resources are devoted to oil spill response. “From my perspective, the response has been anemic,” Granholm said. Spill workers and volunteers have been hard at work, cleaning the horrifyingly oily water:
This is not the first failure of Enbridge Inc., the Canadian energy company responsible for the spill. Michigan Messenger’s Todd Heywood reports that, “documents from the agency show that Enbridge Energy pipelines have leaked oil on 12 different occasions in Michigan since 2002.” Furthermore, documents obtained by the Detroit Free Press and other news outlets indicate Enbridge Inc. was “notified twice this year of potential problems involving old pipe prone to rupturing and an inadequate system for monitoring internal corrosion.” While this is one of the biggest threats to a pipeline, it is currently unclear whether Enbridge addressed the notices or if “the concerns played any role in the leak.”
Although Michigan’s spill represents only 32 percent of the amount of oil spilled per day in the ongoing BP oil disaster, the environmental implications of the leak are already clear. Not only has wildlife — including geese and muskrats — been coated in oil, but fears also remain high that the oil will contaminate local water supplies. The Calhoun County Health Department has advised residents around the area of the Kalamazoo River oil spill to evacuate, due to “‘higher than acceptable levels of benzene’ in air quality studies.” Benzene, notes the press release from the health department, is a “highly flammable” organic chemical that can lead to a series of symptoms from dizziness to tremors. The long-term effects of benzene exposure, however, are more dire and are linked to excessive bleeding and even cancer in human beings. Enbridge has agreed to reimburse affected families for the cost of hotel stays.
Yesterday, Enbridge spokeswoman Terri Larson said “no fresh oil is leaking from the leak site itself.” Moreover, as the Michigan Messenger reports, “Despite claims by Enbridge CEO Patrick Daniel that the company would reopen the leaking oil pipeline ‘in a matter of days,’ the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) has issued a Corrective Action Order directing the company not to reopen the pipeline until a comprehensive safety assessment can be completed.”

July 31st, 2010 at 9:57 amDid Enbridge promise the state and federal governments that they could handle any size spill, and that any spills that did occur (even though that was only remotely possible) would have negligible impacts on the environment? You know, like BP did?

Yep, already the Gulf oil spill is starting to slip under the media radar range. If it weren’t for the people of the Gulf complaining about BP and the money they have yet to receive from them the media would be moving on. Give it another month or two.
Out of sight, out of mind. This will be the Exxon Valdez all over again. 25 years from now we will hear about the rash of deaths to citizens and cleanup crews, large traces of oil still being discovered and how BP screwed the people of the Gulf and the corporate media will be just as guilty for the coverup.
July 31st, 2010 at 10:02 amAll that noise we hear on the right about the U.S. should not support terrorism by importing oil from countries that support terrorism. Well this spill was caused by the country, Canada, that the U.S. imports the most oil from. Looks like SouthPark was right, “Blame Canada!”

I think the biggest mistake they made with the Estate Tax was to allow people to leave money to their grandchildren virtually estate tax-free. It really defeated the whole point of the tax. And Republicans who believe in hard work should agree. There really is no defending the repeal of the Estate Tax. None.

July 31st, 2010 at 12:23 pmWe can drill and get the oil out, but if we have a leak, or something goes wrong, we do not know what to do.
Unless we have brakes someway or another..drilling is going to be our biggest problem for now and in the future.
Oil companies must show us that they are in control of stopping oil leaks, or they’ll have no more permits to drill.
The past few months showed us that oil companies are in a hurry to get the oil out of ground to sell, but their technology is not sufficient enough to deal with oil leaking disasters that oil drilling is creating.

You guys keep screaming this but have no answer to how to replace cars and trucks on the road now. There is no clean fuel other than natural gas and that would take decades to switch. And home energy development could be cleaner with nuclear plants, BUT you guys stopped that too.

Then came JFK, and within ten years men — Americans — were walking on the moon.
Republicans scream and carry on, piss and moan about the costs, protect their corporate owners from progress of any kind, esp. progress that might not be good for a particular business. And everything stalls. Same thing today. Obama is doing what he can to invest in technology — solar (our ultimate savior), wind (a useful bridge), even nuclear. And all the Republicans can say is NO! And start another war.
Conservatives are unimaginative and worthless. The care only about money and power, and their foresight ends at the tip of their nose.
Will Americans wake up and see the reality? Maybe. Will it be soon enough to effect proper change and advance? Probably not. Meanwhile, fossil energy is depleted more day by day, the globe heats up, and the oblivion born of stupidity and greed beckons.

July 31st, 2010 at 5:54 pmIn most cases, I’d say Canada has a better environmental record than the USA.
But in this case, sure is nice to have a major spill in the middle of sportsman’s territory in Michigan and in a watershed that is in one of the few places in the Great Lakes isolated from Canada.
July 31st, 2010 at 6:15 pmAdmittedly, the ability of the Kalamazoo river to diffuse the oil is much more limited than in the Gulf. I also wonder if they used dispersants to cover up the spill in Michigan.
But sure is interesting that a spill or refinced oil in Michigan is a problem but a spill in the Gulf of crude oil is pronounced by the gov of Alabama as no problem. Go ahead and swim in it.

This is what has held up widespread use of electric cars. You’re not the only one who has seen the movie.
July 31st, 2010 at 7:54 pmI really do think that between the Gulf spill and this, oil needs to be thought of more like the way we think of nuclear power – the odds of any given mistake may be extremely slim, but the consequences are so catastrophic that we need to be extremely careful before even considering using it at all, and even then only in the last resort, or to meet byproduct needs (nuclear: bombs; oil: plastic).
No form of green energy has this problem, and yet our national investment is almost entirely in “dangerous” forms of energy. We’re well “Through the Looking Glass” on this issue, and desperately need to flip the script.
Hopefully these events will push green energy investment to the forefront of Obama’s big “to do” list. I remember he talked about it quite a bit during his campaign, but he has been bottlenecked in trying to get shorter-term economy-impacting legislation through so far. Not that “green energy” doesn’t impact the economy, just not as much as fixing spiraling health care costs would, not to mention stimulus, jobs, and finance industry reform. But in any case, he’ll probably wait until after the 2010 election to tackle it, since it’s going to be (yet another) tough slog.
In the short term though, I think the best political approach would be to brand oil as being “just like nuclear.” Nuclear scares people. Oil doesn’t – yet – although it should.

There are a lot of ins and outs and exceptions on copyright, but basically a copyright expires after 75 years unless the family takes it back up, etc. But basically, items published before the early 1920s are in public domain (but one way around this is to re-release it and make the claim that you’ve changed the text and presentation and thus started the copyright from day 1 again).

Well personally I believe they should expire after fifty years, with 10-year step-downs in what you can demand. Ditto patents. Those who make discoveries should be rewarded, but in the long term all knowledge should be free.

The same will happen with oil.
Elections will be bought by the highest fossil fuel bidder up until the money runs out. Then we will be left out in the cold if we don’t make a serious attempt to invent the real energy source of the 21st century.
Washington is bought and paid for.

August 1st, 2010 at 9:30 amIt doesn’t bode well for workers around the Macondo well site.
Everytime an ROV surfaces, you never see the personnel aboard the ship wearing a respirator or mask. They are spraying dispersants around the vessels via air or other ships.
Supposedly the dispersants stifle the poisonous fumes. Or so we’ve been told.
But yet people living around an oil poisoned lake are told to evacuate while personnel were sitting on top of a gushing well without any protective gear.
Unfortunately I think that a lot of those workers will become ill and be discarded like the 9/11 responders.
