What are the chances someone sabotaged the pipeline
Look for a guy who happened to invest suspiciously shortly beforehand...
My dad was on a joint task force 17~ years ago that had to prevent a domestic terror plot along those lines, but it was a liquefied natural gas pipeline. Funny story: the criminal kept appealing it until after 9/11, then the rules were changed and his sentencing ended up being based on post-9/11 legislation instead of what existed prior. He's locked up forever as a result, but would have probably been free by now if he hadn't dragged things out with years of appeals (I don't know all the details, other than that an extradition was involved).
This story is a lie, please do not repeat it. The legal system is setup in such a way that, if you are charged with a crime, you will be tried according to the laws at that time. The person in this story would not have been tried with post-9/11 terrorism charges if the incident occurred in the 1990s.

I'm just thankful the spill occured near the small town of a bunch of the dimwits who probably support the pipelines and not around Native American lands. Karma-riffic! Still bad for the environment though :(
Given the principle of NIMBY, your assumption is idiotic.
Given that it's a rural area of a deeply red state and Republican voters have a demonstrated propensity to ignore their own self-interest and vote Republican anyway, your comment is idiotic.
You don't seem to understand how NIMBY works.
You don't seem to understand how karma works. One party is firmly pro-Keystone XL and one is not. The people living there vote for politicians who want to force Keystone XL pipeline on people who don't want it there, including Native Americans on their own land (still don't know how the U.S. government can even do that...), and then got an oil spill from another pipeline in their own back yard. That's textbook karma.
Karma only comes up after you are dead and are eligible for re-incarnation. Clearly, you do not seem to understand how karma works.
