Mr Hapyslip is somewhat right. You can't fully measure environment lose to that extent and we certainly won't be able to "clean up" right away. It could take decades and by then it might have an affect on nearby plantlife and habitats depending on the extent of the spill/leak. It boils down to QC when it happens. This is a risk pipelines are taking that's for sure. So they make sure they have the controls in place to avoid or prevent from happening. You cannot 100% clean up a big loss of containment. This one the biggest con of the pipelines but is it worth the benefits we get from it? I think so.

There are too many assumptions being made in this thread
