Gas Pipeline Explosion

[Because_They_Lie]

Yup, seen the new link.

PRINCE GEORGE, British Columbia - A massive pipeline explosion in British Columbia risks cutting off the flow of Canadian natural gas to Washington state, and companies are urging customers to conserve.

Is BC the only place they can get gas from? Don't they have plenty of their own gas?

Something about free trade agreement from way back. Same goes with BC's water. its an agreement. and its BS

And as I read many of these posts I have a reoccurring thought that is "these people are legally entitled to vote?".

this explosion and the attitude from the company of "we will get to it soon" is precisely why the KMP was set back. if there is spills it seems like companies want to shrug off their obligations and make their own lally gag timeline to clean up.

Please provide a link to that statement (bahahahahahaha)

FortisBC now says that it could take a month or two to get the pipeline fixed. If we get a good cold snap in November, it could take longer, and some people at the end of the line (Washington, Oregon, and Vancouver Island) could run out of gas.

Apparently there's a LOT more to this incident than we're being told. Replacing a section of pipe doesn't take months.

LOL ok but this is not a oil or gas spill and there is nothing to clean up;; just a corroded section of pipe to replace
not sure why it will take as longs as they say but iam not 100% sure how hard it is to access this area ?

how remote it is shouldnt matter. the priority is the environment that has been affected. and the loss of service to customers who will be affected. the utility companies have engineered that their service will be interrupted for lack of payment on time. thus they have a captive consumer on retainer that pays month in and month out on time. even when they go to the utilities commission and get the captain obvious rate raises.
thus they have an obligation to the consumer to get on top of things come hell or high water. the consumer deserves this. and there shouldnt be threats that services will be affected and tell people how much they can use. especially when there is pipelines that are running straight across the border to the US or on boats to asia. there isnt a shortage at all. its just the consumer stream that is affected.

I have no idea what that is supposed to mean, but if you don't take out your Mom's garbage and mow the lawn, she may just punt you onto the street.

has anyone started that gofundme for fortis stock holders? they need money for fixing their infrastructure and property. our purchase of gas isnt enough. we need to give more.
maybe we can hire jerry and timmy. and do a telethon?

[Glacier]

Fortis doesn't own the pipeline...

Fortis doesn't own the pipeline...

Details like that simply don't matter when the dumb dumb orange shirts decide to attack something.

[butthead]

ill bet you can only guess there gona have to increase the price of natural gas by about 35% now

Glace?? Really?? Replacing a section of three foot diameter pipe that ruptured in the wilderness does take months to mobilize the assets required. This pipe is not beside a Hwy.
And if one takes into consideration the revenue loss the pipe owner is losing from this, they would also understand how quickly they are trying to get it repaired while still jumping through all of the regulatory requirements and safety protocols.

And arsehats like burnedstake are vibrating with glee at the prospect that people might not have heat if we have a cold snap in the next month just as long as the pipe owner loses money. This kind of person is a virus to society and I wish I could cut of his heat.
