EARTHQUAKE HITS BC
Oct 31st, 2012 by anthonytse
Following my previous blog post on the proposed Enbridge’s Northern Pipeline, recently last Saturday, a 7.7 Earthquake hit BC in Haida Gwai. This has lead to the risk of landslides and breakage of the tankers in the proposed pipeline. This rose a lot of attention recently in the support in disapproval of the proposal, as if the earthquake was to hit a nearby location of the proposed area, chances are it would create a risk among populations that live around the area. This adds to another “unethical” reason to why the proposed Pipeline should be refuted, “natural disasters are unpredictable” and to add extra prevention along the pipe, one would need to increase the expenses by..A LOT, as the pipeline is over 1,150-kilometers long. For now, i find this project very unethical towards society, unless a better alternative route is taken, and better safety regulations, the risk of environmental loss and disasters plus unethical land usage has caused the proposal to look very unfavorable.
