Thankfully the recent 840,000 gallon "spill" in Michigan looks to be contained.
It looks like Enbridge Energy Partners learned something from the BP oil fiasco in the Gulf. The company appears to have taken full responsibility for the 840,000 gallon spill in the Talmadge Creek in Michigan Monday night.

The company says the 30-inch pipeline, which carries about 8 million gallons of oil per day from Indiana to Ontario, suffered a malfunction underground. The pipeline pumps have since been shut down and the leak has been plugged.

The Talmadge Creek feeds the Kalamazoo River. Impact to wildlife in the area is not yet known, but officials are warning residents not to swim or fish in the river until further notice. Two homes near the leak have been evacuated and residents are complaining about the smell. The leak is affecting areas along the river from Marshall to Emmett Townships.

The pipeline is part of the Lakehead System, a 1,900 mile pipeline and the longest in the world.

Iowa pours more oil, poop, and pollution into the Mississippi river system then all of the leaks in the gulf combined.

I say lets tax the corn, cows, pigs, and retards that come out of Iowa and pollute the world.

I for one blame Bush for wasting America's time and money in Iraq when he should have been working on containing the home grown oil right here in the US :mrgreen:
