This is what happens when you structure a society around petroleum energy. Â “Safe, clean natural gas” is incredibly volatile and explosive. Â Most people are completely unaware of where the gas lines and infrastructure are. Â It’s also naturally invisible and odorless. Â Many people are missing. Â The size of this explosion, from the descriptions, was literally larger than any of the 3 that were witnessed on 9/11 when the aircraft hit the buildings, and has probably killed more people than the horrific natural gas explosion that occurred on the Deepwater Horizon earlier this year.
The minority Republican Party of the United States is currently obstructing, with all of their parliamentary power, the President’s bill to just slightly repair a modest portion of the country’s aging infrastructure. Â The GOP politicians are actually using this as one of their proudest campaign promises, pledging to block any attempt at obviously overdue infrastructure maintenance and repairs anywhere.
