No natural gas.

It may be "batcrap" to some, but its something that needs attention.the company that owns the pipeline, is canadian, so do they give a s--t what happens when they have a "little accident". Yes and no.Yes because it means they have a slight earnings drop, and no because they dont live where it happened.When I said I worked on a pipeline, I did and I didn't. We got our feed stock of natural gas from TX, and reformed it into hydrogen, which we sent down another pipeline to different end users.But the industrys that use these pipelines, dont want regulation, it costs money, and costs effect profits. So Joe Blos house burns down, because of a faulty interstate pipeline, they dont care.An oil pipeline breaks and screws up the drinking water of a couple of people, big deal. But this little spill could have been much worse, 20% of the fresh water in thiscountry is in the great lakes, screw that up, and the price of beer will go up quite a bit.
