Columbia Gas Company states it is conducting safety checks, Someone is going to prison. Deregulation is probably the culprit. Massachusetts is staring to look like Texas. Cut costs to the bone  and the public pays the price. California explosion was like this a few years back and it was due to old infrastructure. Deregulation causes neglect and thus what happens. The petroleum industry needs to end their reign over USA utility power. Massachusetts has great offshore wind maps. There isn’t much that can go wrong if wind power is deregulated. I don’t know wind is all that regulated in the first place. Good-bye methane.

Rick Perry is destroying regulations. Check the Department of Energy. Columbua pushed it to far. Pushing the infrastructure too far is gross negligence. There is no excuse for it. Any deregulation will facilitate this level of danger, but, there is no excuse for it. Either Columbia knows what they are doing or they don’t. I expect to see perp-walks.

Massachusetts Governor Baker states the company response was adequate. Really?
