Oops, Oil Still Seeping Out In Romeoville?

Here's some sunshiney news for your sunshiney (whoops) Friday afternoon: the oil leak in Romeoville? Yep, still seeping oil, according to the EPA. In a press release, the EPA said, "Contrary to published reports, EPA has determined that while the spill is being contained, the release of oil from the pipeline has not stopped." This contradicts Enbridge's claims that the oil leak had been shut down within an hour of the leak being reported. The EPA was to hold a press conference this afternoon to outline deadlines for Enbridge to clean up the spill. Meanwhile, some EPA devices that were stashed at a school were misidentified as "suspicious device." Oops. Oh, and oil prices in the Midwest are going up with the pipeline shut down. Double oops.
