First Nations Slam Plan to Twin Kinder Morgan pipeline to Burrard Inlet - CTV

2012-01-11T20:52:53.438Z

As the debate rages over a proposed oil pipeline in northern B.C., energy giant Kinder Morgan is quietly working on plans to double the capacity of its pipeline into Metro Vancouver.

The Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs issued a letter Tuesday urging Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Premier Christy Clark to reject both Kinder Morgan and Enbridge's proposals.

Representatives from the Tseil-Waututh First Nation in North Vancouver say they fear an oil spill and are opposed to Kinder Morgan's plans to increase tanker traffic in Burrard Inlet.

"The risk of having that much oil floating through our inlet, it's too great a risk to take," council member Carleen Thomas told CTV News.

part from more tanker traffic, Kinder Morgan also wants bigger tankers in the inlet, and the company told investors in a presentation that would mean dredging the channel to widen it. CTV News has learned that Port Metro Vancouver is testing sediment at the Second Narrows channel in preparation.

Environmentalists say that dredging comes with its own risks.

"Dredging can be quite harmful. There's a lot of toxins, heavy metals well above acceptable limits that are at the bottom of the inlet. When you disturb that, you're mixing that into the ecosystem," Ben West of the Wilderness Committee said.

It now appears to have flames.Do you remember when BP claimed publically that only 5000 barrels a day were gushing from their Oil and Gas Spill? Now they are publically boasting that are capturing 10,000 Barrels a day and soon, they claim, they they will be capturing 19000 Barrels a day. Wha'ts the truth? How about all the empty, interrelated caverns under the ocean floor ? What would happen if the ocean floor collapased and these immense, empty caverns collapsed like dominos.How much more is being covered up and denied?

Deepwater Horizon Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill Likely to Spread into the Atlantic OceanDeepwater Horizon Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill Likely to Spread into the Atlantic Ocean

Video prediction of how the oil will spread into the Atlantic Ocean

The National Center for Atmospheric Research has released animation depicting how wide the oil spill may spread if the loop current in the Gulf of Mexico flows normally during the spring and summer seasons.

The science behind the animation predicts that the oil from the Deepwater Horizon leak will enter the Atlantic Ocean around day eighty (around July 1). The environmental sensitive southern Florida coast as well as northern Cuba and the barrier islands of North and South Carolina are most threatened. Meanwhile the southern American fisheries are also at risk.

The disaster could get even larger if the leak continues on for years if efforts to stop the leak fail. Oil in the Gulf Stream could take the toxic pollution all the way to the coast of Europe.
