Local oil pipelines

May 15th, 2011

We have made some efforts to confront Enbridge and Exxon Mobil pipelines which pose a constant threat to this city, and to its surrounding environment.  Both of these pipelines cross the Thames River.

An Exxon Mobil oil pipeline passes through our city, and Enbridge Line 9 passes just north of of London. This Enbridge pipeline crosses various local farms and neighbouring townships — all of which are at risk.  If there were a pipeline breach near the Thames River, oil pollution could flow south through Fanshawe Lake, past the Forks of the Thames, and through the rest of the Thames River.

Enbridge line 9 crosses Highbury here, and the same pipeline crosses Hyde Park here.

Here are photos of warning signs that Enbridge has hidden away in fields, not far from the city — along a pipeline that much more toxic tar sands bitumen would flow through, if the Enbridge Trailbreaker project is allowed to continue -
