John,

Thanks for posting the TX story. It's definitely gonna get interesting come January.

Lots of good stuff at #Subject-16203 if your interested in y2k...

Here's another doozie re: oil pipelines

#reply-9376450
I hope to hell it does work. We built a good line. We just didn't consider y2k. Remember too that the Alaskan pipeline, while far more famous, is only 752 miles long, has similar potential problems, but much colder weather.

If either of these lines go down, the impact on our oil supply will be dramatic. After they cool and solidify (72 hrs generally, but that varies), they cannot be restarted, ever again. They must be rebuilt.
