I live in Nebraska and one of the requirements that we had was the company buy a ONE BILLION dollar insurance policy to clean up any spills, they did.

Right, as with BP in the Gulf, they are going to have to clean up and fully compensate for any damage. Seems to me the Alaskan pipeline has operated for a very long time with only relatively minor spills.

The reason they could buy that insurance was that they knew your own Nebraska hydrogeologists had determined the XL pipeline to be essentially risk free.
