EIN News says, "Regulators Weigh More Rules for Natural Gas Pipelines U.S. regulators sought public input on Wednesday about the need for increased oversight of the country's natural gas pipelines, as part of a push to strengthen safety after several deadly accidents. (reuters.com)".
Seeking public opinion on the matter of natural gas pipeline accidents is a ridiculous program. In the first place, the public doesn't know anything about pipeline safety. In the second place, US regulators will not be considering public opinion, and should in fact not be considering the matter at all.
Pipeline owners are well aware of their liability for accident. They full well know that they will get their pants sued off on accidents and make every effort to avoid same. They do not need government help, which we can normally interpret as interference.
