BP is planning to shut down one of their Alaskan oil pipelines because of corrosion in the line, according to the Associated Press. There was a small spill of about 150-200 gallons of crude from this line. Another line from the same area spilled over ten million gallons this past March, and has been offline ever since.
The one bright side to this story is that you now have a snappy comeback for the next moron you hear arguing for increased drilling in Alaska. Just invoke Sen. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska): It really is just a series of tubes.
Leaky tubes.
