An ExxonMobil oil pipeline that ruptured beneath the Yellowstone River has fouled more than 150 miles of the waterway between Laurel and Miles City.
Exxon officials have not said what caused the leak, but in a morning press conference Saturday, Yellowstone County officials noted that the high level of the river, the speed of the water and quickly moving debris all may be factors.

Doesn’t matter much, because human beings can’t really effect the earth’s environment, only God can.
And also, such a little bit of oil! Such a big river!
Moreover, do not forget that oil is a good thing! Everywhere and always. It helps humankind.
Oh, and it’s natural!
Remember too how fast they cleaned up the Gulf. Can we drill somewhere in Yellowstone too? Energy Independence Now!
etc. etc. etc.
