There's a 30 year old gas leak here. I've heard there's a group that celebrates it's birthday every year. The op was not exaggerating when he said it was comically terrible.
Im surprised no politician has pushed to get it fixed since climate change is something people care about in the area and methane is much worse for global warming than carbon dioxide
It's like how it's best that some companies or probably even countries are best to stay away from nuclear power: to have even moderate safety requires a certain attitude and ability to organize. If your city or country has a lot of corruption, then it's really hard to have safety because companies get competitive advantage from bribing.
The dark ages are constantly there, just waiting to return.
It's like being a ship on the ocean. You could be lulled into a false sense of safety by the pretty views and the flying fish but death is always right around the corner and waiting mercilessly for you to fuck up every so slightly.
