This time it is the pipeline that exploded in of all places, Louisiana, the best governed state in the unino.


(Reuters) - A major natural gas pipeline exploded (click here) on Tuesday in Washington Parish, Louisiana, destroying a mobile home and causing an evacuation of the area but no injuries were reported, local officials said.


The blast on the Florida Gas Transmission (FGT) pipeline, which transports gas from Texas to south Florida, sent a mushroom cloud into the sky and sparked a fire on the line, according to Lauren Ritchie, a spokeswoman for the Washington Parish sheriff's department....


Look, I am confident I have mentioned this before; the pipelines cannot and WILL NOT hold up to the Canadian CRUD.

There are different grades of OIL. The Canadian Crud is among the lowest grades of oil. It is thick and won't flow through pipelines.

This is the actual picture of the garbage Canada is selling.

Secondary Upgrading (click here)
In the Secondary Upgrading process (SUG), hydrogen is added to stabilize the hydrocarbon molecules. Impurities like sulphur and nitrogen are removed. The remaining different hydrocarbons: naptha, diesel and gas oil, are then blended to make a mixture called Synthetic Crude
Oil (SCO). The SCO is the product that is transported via pipelines to refineries across North America. 

Naphtha is a corrosive. The Canadian Oil Sands PROCESS requires the corrosive properties of naphtha to make the lousy stuff flow. Otherwise, the Canadian Tar Sands Crud couldn't flow through pipelines. The petroleum industry knows naphtha is corroding the pipelines. That is a given. They ain't that stupid, they simply don't care.

MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet)  Number: 888100004450 Version: 2.12

This material (click here) is considered hazardous by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200).

DANGER
Hazard Summary
Extremely flammable. Irritating to eyes and respiratory system. Affects central nervous system. Harmful or fatal if swallowed. Aspiration Hazard. 

Why in god's name would anyone want this traveling across this country?

Long-term exposure may cause effects to specific organs, such as to the liver, kidneys, blood, nervous system, and skin. Contains benzene, which can cause blood disease, including anemia and leukemia.

Target Organs: Skin, Central nervous system, Liver, Kidney, Blood 

Naphtha is highly organic. Naphtha is a mixture of many volatile hydrocarbons

Naphthalene is a Polycyclic Aromatic Compound. Each white dot in the molecule below is a hydrogen. It is those hydrogens that make this compound so organic and so very dangerous to a person's well being.

Naphtha has many forms as a compound extracted through the petroleum process. But, the ONE sincere characteristic of Naphtha are the hydrogens no matter the COMPOUND formula. 

When there is an oil spill these compounds are released into the environment. This is not a minor problem. In the case of the BP Deepwater Horizon, marine biologists have found newly born dolphins dead washed up on shore. The reason they were dead was because of birth defects caused while they were in utero. The females were exposed to these volatile compounds and it caused fatal birth defects.

There is no doubt the cancer rates will increase where people are exposed to petroleum compounds. That is a fact. Having these compounds traveling across the country was dangerous enough, BUT, now the Canadian Oil Crud not only contains these compounds they contain A LOT of these compounds that actually corrodes the pipeline itself. The increase in pipeline breaks and in this case explosion is very predictable.

The entire petroleum industry has gotten this desperate for OLD WORLD wealth. The petroleum industry does not have new products. All they have is their old products in differing forms because PEAK OIL has already occurred. This form of oil did not delay Peak Oil, it created a different one that is more dangerous than the first.
