Oil spill in rural Kansas creek shuts down Keystone pipelineTOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — An oil spill in a creek in northeastern Kansas shut down a major pipeline that carries oil from Canada to the Texas Gulf Coast, briefly causing oil prices to rise Thursday. Canada-based TC Energy said it shut down its Keystone system Wednesday night following a drop in pipeline pressure. How does oil not processed yet impact gas already bought and paid for by the gas stations? “Major pipeline” 🙄 As if most people don’t already know about the Keystone pipeline. It’s like the headline was written to get as little traction as possible. Ummm,is the nature ok? I'm guessing definitely not.
