Enbridge Pipeline #5

And those of us who do system design also realize that these pipelines are what's known as a "single point of failure" ... evidenced by the fact that when they go down people panic and refineries go dry ... at least with EVs the utility infrastructure is usually backed up with a second source if the primary goes dark ... have we put too many eggs in the fossil fuel basket?

Cool story, bro. You'll have to explain why I was without power for two days back in January then. P.S. If they had built Energy East, there wouldn't be a single point of failure (not that there is even today since there is the option of rail and truck shipping, plus shipping by ship up the Great Lakes and even by pipeline through Chicago).

What great logic - block all pipelines from being built, then cry about "single point of failures" because there aren't more pipelines. It's just so silly.

The answer is obvious - build more pipelines! This isn't really that hard to understand.

That was awesome! Quick Dick is just the best - in a Don Cherry-less world, he's the best thing we've got now in Canada!
