Enbridge Inc. Chief Executive Patrick Daniel and pipeline industry regulators came under fire today from U.S. lawmakers following oil spills in the Midwest and a fatal natural gas explosion in Northern California.
Enbridge, whose lines have caused oil spills in Michigan and Illinois, lacks “a culture of safety” and the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration is “a disaster of its own,” James Oberstar, chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, said at a hearing.
