Keystone XL/ State of the State of Montana



Missoulian: Yellowstone oil spills fuel arguments over Keystone line
Keystone XL Pipeline Debate, Senate
“brought up, which is pipeline safety. There have been some references to recent pipeline spills— one in Poplar, MT, actually not too far from where I live in western North Dakota. But the spill is from what is called the Poplar Pipeline, which I believe is owned by the Bridger Company. It is a pipeline that goes underneath the Yellowstone River. It was built in the 1950s, so we are talking about a pipeline that is over 50 years old. Isn’t that just the point, that whether it is roads or bridges or buildings or pipelines or transmission lines or anything else, we have to make the investment in new facilities rather than just continuing to rely on old facilities?”
