Aging Gas Pipelines Often Ignored
Texas, which is home to more pipelines than other states, should be alarmed by a recent study done by the Hearst Newspapers. The study shows that the pipeline industry funds two thirds of the safety studies done by the government, basically they pay to police themselves which as many can see would lead to a major conflict. A San Francisco Chronicle report found that in Texas more than 25,000 of the 46,000 miles of transmission pipelines were installed in 1970 or earlier, some even dating back to the great depression.
Yellowstone River Spill Raises Pipeline Safety Concerns
An incident involving a ruptured pipeline is causing some people to push for tighter regulations of the aging gas pipeline system. A oil pipeline which runs beneath the Yellowstone river in Montana burst and spilled as much as a 1,000 barrels of oil into the river just down from Yellowstone National Park. But high water conditions have made it impossible to investigate the damage to the pipeline. According to a World Wildfire Federation report pipeline accidents accounted for 2,500 significant incidents, 161 fatalities and 576 injuries in the U.S. from 2000-2009. Many officials are worried about the amount of pipelines which cross under some of our most precious water resources not just for the wildfire but for communities as well.

Gas Line Explosion Occurs in Lake Worth
A Gas line explosion occurred around 2:30 in the afternoon July 5, 2011 in Lake Worth. The explosion occurred when workers involved with the Shawnee Bridge Project hit a buried six inch gas pipeline which they didn't know was there. The backhoe caught fire but the operator was able to escape without injuries, however residents were able to feel the explosion from miles away. Atmos Gas Company responded and shut down the gas line which cause the fire to go out. This is just another case of how dangerous the aging gas pipeline system truly is.
