Natural gas may be cheap, but how safe is it?
On
September 9, 2010, a little more than two years ago, a San Bruno,
California neighborhood was rocked by a huge explosion caused by a
rupture in a 30 inch natural gas pipeline. That explosion woke up the
natural gas pipeline industry and its regulators and made the public
slightly more aware of the dangers associated with piping flammable,
explosive vapors at high pressures in underground pipes that are often
located under heavily populated areas.http://theenergycollective.com/rodadams/116296/natural-gas-may-be-cheap-how-safe-it-remembering-san-bruno?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=The+Energy+Collective+%28all+posts%29&utm_content=Google+Reader
