Look out - the oil companies are going to be demanding another reward for bad behaviour.

The burst pipeline that leaked a million gallons of Alberta crude into the Kalamazoo River remains closed after US authorities turned down a restart. Turns out they couldn't verify it was safe.

Now Endbridge, fearing its line through Superior, Wisconsin might not be up to snuff, has reduced the pressure in the pipe. This cuts back the amount of crude flowing to Sarnia refineries even more.

So look out. Here comes a supply/demand argument for a bump in the price at the pumps.

Why is it only the oil industry can get away with this?
