BP Deals With 2nd Alaskan Pipeline Spill In A Week
BP deals with 2nd Alaskan pipeline spill in a week12.04.09, 12:19 PM EST
ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Dec 4 (Reuters) - British oil giant BP ( BP - news - people ) has begun cleaning up a second pipeline leak at its Prudhoe Bay operations in Alaska this week, after fluid spilled from a flow line Wednesday.
The incident did not impact oil production in Prudhoe Bay, the largest U.S. oilfield complex, a BP spokesman said Friday.
The leak in the 34-inch (86-cm) diameter flow line, which was discovered Wednesday, spilled about 7,140 gallons f a watery mixture known as produced water into an operational building and an outdoor gravel area, Alaska's Department of Environmental Conservation said in a situation report late Thursday.
The spill was the second pipeline incident to affect BP's Alaska operations in less than a week, after the company found crude, gas and produced water leaking from another of its Alaskan pipelines on Sunday.
Produced water is not crude, but the often salty and oil-laced fluid can be harmful, especially if it penetrates into Alaska's fragile tundra surface.

Buying USA MADE Saves Energy
Buying USA MADE Saves Energy
If all of us in the USA would make the extra effort to buy USA made products we could save alot of energy. Transporting products farther than needed wastes energy. If we can reduce our oil and coal consumption we would not need to fight in wars to keep the oil flowing plentiful and freely and at a reasonable cost.

"I just bought five pair of your socks. They are great. They are high quality. Made in USA is important to me. I am concerned about energy conservation and alternative energy. I'm glad to see the energy conservation and alternative energy your company has done. I will put a link to your company in my blog" at: http://www.usaalternativeenergynow.blogspot.com

WIGWAM INSTALLS SOLAR PANELS
Wigwam installed an array of 27- 4’x10’ solar thermal collectors on the roof of its plant in Sheboygan. The system will generate enough solar energy to reduce 2,815 therms of natural gas combustion. By eliminating the consumption of natural gas, the system will result in the reduction of 15.5 tons of green house gases per year. The system is used for pre-heating water that is converted to steam for processing goods in the dye house and humidifying the plant. The solar system is estimated to provide 45 percent of the heat required for this process on an annual basis. The percentage takes into account seasonal variations in temperature and weather. “Though there is a payback on the system and cost savings in the first eight to nine years, that was not our primary driver to install the system,” said Chesebro. “We made the upgrade because we knew that it was the right thing to do.”

A Time To Be Thankful
Thanksgiving is almost here. In America and other wealthy nations it's a time to reflect on our lives and give thanks, even if we only have two quaters to rub together. There are those in this world that don't have enough food, or clothes, or medical care. Pray that there are enough generous people who will come to their aid in any way they can, with money or volunteering.

Thank You
