"Washington (December 15, 2022) – Today, eight days after more than half a
million gallons of crude oil began leaking from the Keystone pipeline, Senator
Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.), Chair of the Senate Environment and Public Works
Subcommittee on Clean Air, Climate, and Nuclear Safety, sent a letter to TC
Energy, owner of the Keystone pipeline system, demanding answers and
accountability for the oil spill – a disaster that is larger than all 22
previous Keystone pipeline spills combined and the biggest onshore U.S. spill
in more than ten years.
“The oil transported through your pipeline has left a trail of environmental
devastation in its wake, from the disastrous effects of tar sand extraction on
the land of the Cree, Dene, and Métis indigenous communities, to the direct
damage that the frequent spills along its route cause,” wrote Senator Markey.
“Enough is enough,” Senator Markey continued. “Communities threatened by your
pipeline urgently need an explanation of how and why these spills keep
happening, and whether your company will continue to put people nationwide and
our environment at risk.”"

MASSIVE CRUDE OIL PIPELINE LEAKS"
