Clear evidence that you don't know what you're talking about.
1. The earthquake prone area of Oklahoma is an oval shaped region, with its axis extending from Oklahoma City to Atoka. The rest of the state is seismically stable. The Keystone pipeline will pass west of Oklahoma City -- outside this seismic zone.
2. Nonetheless, the seismically "active" zone in Oklahoma was once a major oil-producing part of the state -- and is criss-crossed by dozens of pipelines, minor and major. Indeed, Cushing, OK, the major pipeline center of the U.S. is TWENTY MILES NORTH OF SPARKS, OK -- the epicenter of the two recent quakes.
Go back to your cage.
...It is sad that you and others can't see the facts...
"Some reports place the quakes on the proposed route while others place the 5.6 quake within in 15 to 20 miles from the route. Reports of stadiums shaking 50 miles away should put the distance versus damage scenario in perspective.
The State Department, Cardno Entrix, and TransCanada have all provided incorrect fault zone data which led to their incorrect fault zone conclusion in the Environmental Impact Statement. This recent earthquake along the proposed route should provide another wake up call that demonstrates the overall inadequate and dangerous assessment provided to us by the State Department.
The report, which was not included as reference material in the SDEIS, “Effects of Keystone XL Pipeline Leak into Carrizo-Wilcox Aquifer,” shows that the proposed project does in fact cross an active fault zone. Water resources and environmental engineer Lawrence G. Dunbar, P.E. found that the USGS report that was cited for the DOS conclusion is not a reliable source for determining whether there are active faults along the proposed pipeline route. The USGS report even states that “it is very likely that the inventory presented in this report is incomplete.” Mr. Dunbar goes on to say that the “USGS report was not intended to be a complete compilation of active faults in Central and Eastern U.S., rather it was intended to be an initial start to a compilation of potential areas for significant earthquakes, a source of reference material for seismicity. As such, it should not have been used to conclude that the faults in southwestern Rusk County are not active and therefore would not pose any risk to the proposed pipeline.”
The information, documentation, and several other reports cited by Mr. Dunbar about fault activity in the Mount Enterprise Fault Zone raises serious questions about the potential for an increased risk of failure of the proposed pipeline that is to be routed through this fault zone area in the immediate vicinity of the outcrop area of the Carrizo-Wilcox Aquifer. This is a prime example of how the DOS’s preliminary determination that there are no significant new circumstances or information concerning the proposed project or its potential impacts not already considered in the draft EIS, is not only an inaccurate statement but demonstrates the lack of a thorough review by the DOS.

Did you get the Fact that the quake was felt up to 50 miles away...in your own words: Indeed, Cushing, OK, the major pipeline center of the U.S. is TWENTY MILES NORTH OF SPARKS, OK -- the epicenter of the two recent quakes.
