Maps of these pipelines show that they are everywhere in the US … yet a 2010 report said that if the pipeline network didn’t exist, the liquids carried by the pipelines would have to be transported by truck and ship, and that it’s considered overall pipelines are a safer mode of transport for hazardous materials compared to trucks and ships because ruptures are far less frequent than oil tanker or tanker truck accidents. ..
And one report state’s “There are hundreds of miles of underground fuel distribution pipelines crisscrossing the region, ranging in diameter from several inches to more than a yard, and carrying everything from natural gas to crude oil to gasoline to jet fuel. Some are more than 50 years old.”
And that currently, the state conducts no inspections of hazardous liquids pipelines, and that the federal government doesn’t perform inspections either, leaving that job to the companies that operate the lines.
It seems the more you study the safety of pipelines, the more you find that there are no real safety management plans in place or enforced ..
I consider that in sooo many ways, the overall safety of the people has far too often become secondary to the economical rewards of big businesses …
