Keystone I pipeline shut down again
Keystone I, the first phase of TransCanada’s pipeline system that brings tar sands oil from Alberta, Canada to southern Illinois, has shut down once again after mechanical problems. Reuters reports that there is “no word yet on the extent of the problems affecting the 591,000 barrel a day pipeline.” This comes as controversy continues to grow over the approval process for the second phase of the project, Keystone XL, which will continue the line all the way to the Gulf Coast of Texas. Keystone I has been in operation for less than two years.

Keystone I has been in operation for less than two years. Despite assurances from TransCanada that the project would be environmentally safe, the first phase has leaked 14 times in the United States since it opened and at least that many times in Canada as well.
