## Resource

A massive oil spill in Kansas— the largest onshore crude leak in the U.S. in nine years— spilled enough oil to fill an Olympic pool, devastating wildlife and ecosystems, killing over 2,700 animals including endangered bats. South Bow, spun off from TC Energy this year, faces a $3 million penalty for cleanup and restoration, pending court approval. Despite quick response and promised safety upgrades, the spill’s root cause may lie in flawed construction and a failed 2013 repair, raising serious questions about pipeline oversight and corporate accountability.
