So I was over on Emory's campus over the weekend and I saw these two fliers. I thought some of you may have some interest in checking them out... The first one is on Wednesday (April 17). The TEDx Event is on Saturday (April 20). Arkansas Oil Spill on Good Friday 2013 Ironically, 2 days after we do a lab about cleaning up oil spills, look at what happened. On the Friday we got out of school for spring break, the Pegasus pipeline that moves 90,000 barrels of crude Canadian tar sands oil from Illinois to Texas developed a leak near Mayflower, Arkansas. The pipeline, which is used by ExxonMobil, was carrying "unconventional" oil (tar sands) and therefore means that technically Exxon is not responsible for paying cleanup. They would only be required if it was conventional oil!!!! Read the article that I attached to the button below for further explanation...On the positive side, this could be a major blow to the Keystone XL extension... http://www.treehugger.com/energy-disasters/oil-spill-arkansas-exxon-pipeline-breaks-spilling-84000-gallons-dangerously-close-lake-conway.html
