We have about 2.6 million miles of pipeline in the US transporting all sorts of petroleum products--what's 3k more added to the risk we now have? phmsa.dot.gov Additionally, do remember all that hue and cry from environmentalists about the Alaska pipeline-- that it would decimate the tundra and the elk herd. Neither has happened. Elk herd has quadrupled since then and despite a spill or two no large tundra disaster.

"Illinois' budget is so tight the state can no longer afford to pay for the burial of poor people reliant on public aid. State officials say the financial burden will now fall to county governments. Until July 1, the Illinois Dept. of Human Services had a budget of $12.6 million for indigent burials. The fund paid about $1,650 per deceased person – $1,103 for a funeral and $552 for a burial – to be handled by a private funeral home, which would later be reimbursed. Last year, about 12,000 such cases were funded statewide..""
