This is why some are worried about the Keystone XL Pipeline. Have you ever heard of the Kalamazoo River tar sands oil spill from 2010 which has cost $1 billion and still is not cleaned up? Dozens of families permanently lost their homes near the formerly lovely river.

In Pascagoula, MS there is a large fertilizer plant within eyesight of one of the largest Chevron refineries in the country. If one goes, they both go. Scary as hell. It’s all surrounded by residential areas.
