I wouldn't want a coffee shop 'in my backyard' and I have nothing against coffee shops.
But if I had to chose between an Oil Pipeline and a 'highway' - I (and I think most people) would chose the Oil Pipeline any day of the week.
You do realize they are quite common? And that natural gas pipelines - which carry the same carbon-based materials run everywhere in urban areas - and that there's a good chance there is a gas pipeline, literally, in your backyard right now?
If you are living in an urban area, my guess is there is an 80% chance there's a carbon-based pipeline within 500m from where you are.
- maxerickson 10y agoThe Energy Information Agency has a nice map of them: http://www.eia.gov/state/maps.cfm http://www.eia.gov/state/maps.cfm (turn off some layers to make it easier to look at) I guess that's transportation pipelines and not distribution pipelines though.
- edblarney 10y agoThat's a cool map. Pipelines are everywhere :). And yes, those don't include distribution which are nearly ubiquitous in many places.
