Yet Another Enbridge Pipeline Break In Wisconsin

Remember when the Journal Sentinel urged regulators to allow the pipeline firm Enbridge to expand operations in Wisconsin - - but didn't highlight the company's already-tacky record in the state?

Well - - it's happened again.

Hard to keep track of these.

And I love the line in the news story describing a spill of 67,200 gallons as "minor."

You know - - like "minor" surgery. "Minor" when it happens to someone else!
