I wonder how much the rat ****** will make out of it

It's an advertisement. There's been a buried petroleum pipeline running along near my home for about 90 years. It gets inspected regularly. It's well marked, we all know its there. When I was a kid, I used to walk out onto it and sit and fish off it, because it crossed a small river at that point. And wonder of wonders, it's never leaked, or broke. It laid dormant for years when Arco shut down. It was put back into service 20 years ago, and still nothing happened to it. Even when they used "Pigs" to separate various fuels pumped through it, it still never fractured. (That isn't done anymore, by the way) I was on it one day when a "pig" went through the pipe one day, it just made an odd noise when it passed.

I won't say a pipeline isn't something to be ignored. It needs to be respected, inspected, and tabs need to be kept on it. What you're getting, is a snow job by tree huggers. (A.K.A. dems) Much to your dismay, it is a safe way to transport petroleum. God, we're not idiots. We're not throwing caution to the wind.

There are safe way to do things. At one time, there was a company that ran a thing called a super shredder running in the next city near me. It could eat whole school busses in one shot. Very noisy, and shook the ground when it ran. So powerful, that if it was started up all at once,(It had to started in stages) the city's lights would dim. No one liked it. But, because the company that owned it got the permits to use it, it couldn't be shut down.

The company that owned it, bought a plot of land in my county, for another scrap yard. A rumor spread that the company was going to start up another one. Neighbors panicked, signs went up in protest, petitions were started to stop it. One thing EVERYONE overlooked, was that the power to run a super shredder, was NOT available in that area! Did they listen? No. Just to top it off, the company that owned it, deemed the machine was too inefficient to operate. It was it's own worst enemy. It's gone now, and no more will be built.

It's time to get rational. Big companies don't do thing on a whim, if they expect to stay in operation. The ones that do-go bye-bye.

So it's the safeguards you've had in place for years that were wrong?
Well that's a relief

Gas pipelines are all over the eastern US from the south to the north. It's how you get the natural gas to heat your homes and cook your food.

Places I've been they were required to inspect the pipeline visually, at least every month. So they'd hire a blimp, fly over the line to satisfy that requirement. Finding the line was easy. A large right of way was purchased for the line, it was required it be kept clean, as in grass height for underbrush. There was never a problem identifying where a pipeline was, even if you walked up on it in the woods, not at a road crossing. At road crossings, were the typical warning signs, notifying them of such a line buried in the ground.

Most of these lines have areas where a pressure relief is set up where no one could get injured should they activate. They are there for the sole reason of should a blockage occur, it will not allow ruptures or any other type damage to occur. Even better they are not the primary protection, they are secondaries which are tested once a month as a requirement by federal law. The primaries are at the compressor stations. The pressure in these lines drop over distance. Every so often along the distance will be these stations that boost the pressure back up to ensure the gas moves.
