Burnaby Burning?

I get a kick out of the lady Premier of British Columbia.  She loves highly explosive liquid natural gas (LNG) that will likely blow the city of Kitimat off the map in future years.

She hates tar sands tar that will hardly burn let alone explode.  Tar becomes a problem after it is thinned with propane, but even then I would guess it’s safer than natural gas when shipped by pipeline.

The lady Premier has a thing about tar/oil pipelines, so hundreds of explosive fuel trains are now careening up and down the dangerous three and a half percent grade mountain slopes in B.C. every day.  Brake failures are inevitable.

Consider the number of B.C. towns and cities situated in steep valleys beside rail lines.  How many will pay the price for this story of unlimited greed and stupidity?  It’s almost humorous to realize that a recent Burnaby B.C. derailment dumped coal in a puddle.  What if that had been propane-laced tar?  Half of Burnaby could be burning today.  Don’t hold your breath.
