Engineer expects more pipeline breaches

TransCanada says they're going to run an inspection device through a damaged pipeline that has leaked at least fourteen times and recently spilled some 5000 barrels of toxic diluted bitumen on northeastern South Dakota.
Evan Vokes was fired as a materials engineer for TransCanada in 2011 after trying to publicize what he called the company’s noncompliant construction methods. He said TransCanada rushed to complete the pipeline, which compromised the structure’s integrity. South Dakota Public Utilities Commissioner Kristie Fiegen said the commission has no authority to revoke TransCanada’s permit to operate the pipeline in the state unless an ongoing investigation shows the company violated one or more of 57 conditions set by the commission.

Earth hater Fiegen is suffering from breast cancer in state that leads the United States in breast cancer rates due to an absence of environmental protections.

Attorneys for Greenpeace and BankTrack want a judge to dismiss a lawsuit filed by Dakota Excess Pipeline ecoterrorist Energy Transfer Partners as an attack on free speech.
