Oil spill in North Dakota raises environmental and economic concerns as safety record of “safest pipeline in the world” comes under renewed scrutiny.

"Pipelines also often cross our nation's wetlands—a risk that could be greatly magnified if the Supreme Court strips away their federal protections."

“I’m here because they want to double the risk of a spill.”

The way I see this is you make the concrete commitment on finances, you make the concrete commitment on bringing people together, and then you ask the communities to identify what needs to be done.

“The era of fossil fuels must end."

"It happens over and over and over and over and over."

The cause of the spill is not yet clear and investigators have not yet confirmed its precise location.

“Enough is enough. Pipelines leak – it's not a question of 'if', but 'when.'”

TransCanada recently filed a lawsuit against the United States because of the U.S. rejection of the Keystone XL pipeline.

The new report of how many gallons of oil were spilled show that initial results underestimated the leak - by 9,000%.
