" Why do pipelines break? Because they&amp;#039;re pipelines, that&amp;#039;s why.  Not only that, but this is the second crack that oil has had at fouling this particular river.  Pipelines are state of the art technology, unless they&amp;#039;re required to operate in cold weather and amid unexpected phenomona like ice in Montana in January.  Nice goal. I&amp;#039;m sure it&amp;#039;s shared by Heidi Heitkamp, the Democrat who represents the newly formed Petro-state of North Dakota in the United States Senate, and that&amp;#039;s some North Dakota oil that&amp;#039;s going into the river, by the way. Heitkamp still loves her some pipeline.  The importance of the Keystone pipeline to &amp;quot;our energy infrastructure&amp;quot; happens to rest completely in the fact that, in addition to transporting the world&amp;#039;s dirtiest fossil fuel from the environmental hellspout of northern Alberta down through the American heartland, it will also carry some of the same North Dakota oil that they&amp;#039;ll be sopping up in Montana for the foreseeable future. I will trust pipelines just as soon as I trust the companies that build them, and the corporations on behalf of which they&amp;#039;re built. That, I confess, may take a while.
