250,000 gallons of gas has leaked from a pipeline near Birmingham, Alabama USA and people are franically worried about filling their tanks as gas stations run short of gas. There's very little concern it seems on the damage to the environment that 250,000 gallons of gas will certainly cause.
*****************
A leak has caused the closure of a crucial pipeline that carries gasoline to the eastern United States, a disruption that threatens to drive up prices and leave service stations without fuel to sell.
A section of the Colonial Pipeline, which runs from Houston to New York, has been closed since Sept. 9 after a spill of roughly 250,000 gallons was discovered in rural Shelby County, Ala.
