    Except - other sources report the cause of the explosion has not been determined. The company's stuck - if they do nothing they are wrong, if they do something, they are wrong.

    Need to find out WHY it happened and then address the problem.

    Anti-fracking people would love to point fingers but natural gas explosions have happened before. Gas and gas fumes are explosive no matter how you harvest the fuel.

    I will never get the image of Yoko Ono screaming "don't frack me" out of my head.:rolleyes:

    I lived 20 minutes from Richmond, IN when this happened:

      Sure it hasn't been determined just like the jury is still out on man made climate change.


      What's up with the free pizza?

    Wow .... that is real class :rolleyes:

    I wonder if you get extra cheese and toppings if your drinking water catches fire



    Interestingly, while Big Oil and Gas like to tell the public and the media that fracking is a safe technology that has been employed for decades, they also tell investors that drilling operations are inherently risky and include leaks, spills, explosions, blowouts, environmental damage, personal injury and death.

    This is about Chevrons CHRONIC fires in Richmond, California.

    Richmond: Federal board rejects safety recommendations stemming from Chevron refinery fire - ContraCostaTimes.com


    http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/story?id=9362023

    "We found that Chevron repeatedly, over a 10 year period, failed to effectively apply inherently safer design principles and upgrade piping at its crude oil processing facility," said CSB Western Regional Director Donald Holmstrom."

    "An earlier report by the CSB found Chevron management ignored their own employee's warnings about a corroded pipe that burst in August 2012, sending a plume of smoke across Richmond and the surrounding areas."
