Comments on: Hydrated in Lima http://www.sprol.com/2005/04/hydrated-in-lima-ohio/ Worst Places In The World Fri, 23 Jul 2010 22:02:28 -0700 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Anonymous http://www.sprol.com/2005/04/hydrated-in-lima-ohio/comment-page-1/#comment-2 Anonymous Tue, 30 Nov 1999 00:00:00 +0000 http://4#comment-2 Your concern regarding NG pipelines is somewhat fuzzyheaded. Perhaps you are unaware that most home and business heating in the US is via NG. That means that individual houses, etc. are connected via "pipelines" to convey the NG. Admittidly large distribution pipeline (high volume and pressure) usually are not implaced through heavyly populated areas; however, distribution system volumes and pressures still can convey significant volume and pressured NG. Although rare, there are cases of home explosions due to NG leaks every winter in the US. When all heating technologies (at least viable ones) are considered, the safety, convience, and overall heating costs of NG shows that it is far superior to most other heating technologies.

I guess when I say pipline I am referring to the enormous high-capacity pipelines used to transport fuel to refineries, such as Val Verde. However, any distribution system can have safety incidents, as you can see here: <BR/>http://primis.rspa.dot.gov/comm/StatePages/htmGen/OH_detail1_dd.html<BR/><BR/>Note that these stats cover only property damage.

Without training, it's incredibly dangerous to handle. With training, it's just dangerous.

And Besides BDO, we have BP Chemicals, Premcor, and coming soon an Ethanol Plant (http://www.go-ethanol.com/partners/). As a side note- I should mention that we also have a state of the art cancer treatment center, and can grow the biggest tomatoes around!
