re: #54 Interesting Times
While inside the pipe, they discovered something shocking: there are actually holes in the Keystone XL pipeline, created by faulty welding.
That’s a little weird..Normally holes in welding are very small and requires a solution applied to see them and detect them. Also..I never met a protester without a cell phone.. So no proof. But all this doesn’t matter. After sections of pipe are complete they use what is a pig to ride inside and electrically detect flaws. Every pipeline company uses them to QC welds. There are 10’s of thousands of miles of pipelines buried in American and it is pretty rare for leaks. It happens but not often.
