Technically, I would love to see that type of stuff happening. Block off the leaky pipe on entrance to the neighborhood and slap a new connection to a local big tank. Wherever they put it on, wherever it's best to put that big dangerous tank. Refill it from a full tanker once whatever time frame is required.

Now I'm trying to figure out where in my neighborhood could find a spot to put it in. Not that would ever happen here. I don't have a gas infrastructure here. I chose to move here knowing that so that's my responsibility if I want that. That will never happen here. But just thought process. If we had gas and it went away where would we put the tank and who would be responsible for it.

That's a big explody thing. We're a bunch of old people who have a low tolerance for s*** blowing up in the neighborhood. We run about 60/40 blue/red. Some loudly on both sides. A co-op sounds great on paper but there will be no cooperation here.

We actually all own an airport together. We don't agree on anything except for mow the damn grass. We got pilots and non-pilots. Those are two different set of people within a group of people that are already arguing due to political splits right now.

Back to the big explody thing. No place to put it. Everyone will have that attitude. Nimby. Not in my backyard. Cornerstone of our American attitude combined with the hardcore. I'm on the West Coast damn it, you don't tell me what to do in my backyard but your backyard better not have a big explody thing in it.

Okay, possible in communities that actually cooperate and have a bit of room. Some distance they can dig a pipe from. Put the big explody thing a few thousand yards out.

If that includes a tight space with a community next door, you're screwed. If that includes space owned by the federal government surrounding you, you're screwed.

Most of the people here would be screwed.
