Anybody seen the new 42" REX pipeline crossing much of the midwest? It crosses one of my farms in southern NE for 2200 ft, and has gotten to be a bit of a hassle, but they do pay off like a slot machine. They magnitude of the project is staggering.

They are bringing into Maywood by rail and hauling by here everyday. Stockpiling north of Wellfleet and I'd guess they have 30 miles piled up already. Somebody said there was to be 7 trainloads. LOTs of pipe. They haul 3 lengths on a truck and I suppose they are 100 ft long. The rear axles on the trailers steer by cables when they turn.

I lived in Stockton, CA in the 70's when a gas well in the Delta west of town lit up. Ol' Red came to put it out played around for a few weeks then it went out on its own Red put in his bill for the work done and B of A who owned the well told him to Kiss Off.

You could see and hear that thing for miles around. Went down within a half mile or so on my boat one day and you couldn't talk over the noise.

Planes coming in from Hawaii used it to line up SF airport.

I know a guy who bought some bare ground to build a house on in Iowa. All of a sudden I heard he was not building, and could not give the land away. My understanding of it was it had a large gas line underneath it and could not be developed. No wonder somebody was anxious to sell it! Certainly that needed to be disclosed before the transaction was completed? Greg

Out here anyway, if that was missed somehow you're Title Insurance would own a piece of land now.

Someone else posted about building a house 50" from a 20" line...just seems to me they've got to be in the ROW. Can't imagine a 20" line with only an 8' or 10' wide ROW.

There was a good size one that blew near New Castle IN about 10 years ago. I could see the glow and flickering from the upstairs window in Indianapolis. Once in a while you could even see a ball of fire. Not sure what caused that one, but I think it may have been due to static in the dry soil and a small leak in the pipe. Lucky it was way out in a field, but they still evacuated people far around it.

There is a big one runs north and south across Michigan. Somebody hooked it several years ago doing deep tillage. You could see the smoke from my place 25 miles away.

Big hassle hereabouts. The proposed route goes through the well field for the water supply for Seward, Nebraska, and the local concern is that a leak would screw up Seward's water supply bigtime.

An alternate route might run it across my place.

This one is going in parallel to a 20? incher about 40 feet away. About ten years ago it started to leak a couple miles west of me, and it looked like a city sprang up out there in the pasture for a couple weeks, lights everywhere, they worked on it 24hrs. a day until they got it fixed.

You are asking the tough questions now, I had to call the right-of-way man, he says natural gas. When completed it will be the largest pipeline in the states, but I don't know if that includes Alaska.

More than one fool there. Look down Pine Ridge. They built houses and set trailers right amongst 4 lines. In 1959 or 60 One of them blew on my uncles place across the road from that new house they just built on John Wilers place and it burned a house all the way on top the hill. Melted the old asphalt siding on paps house and it was over the break of the hill. Folks in the house that burned ran out and left their kids in there. Gramps dunked a quilt in the rain barrel and went in and got the kids out. The littl girl was burned pretty bad on her back. She turned out to be a real beauty, but does carry those scar's to this day.

I was really suprised with all of Clark County's zoning laws that they let them do all that building so close to those lines. Just a matter of time until tragedy hits. hose lines are 60 years old. I saw yesterday that they are building a cell tower on Red Berry's old place.

Whenever there's an article or editorial in the local paper about "renewable energy" I like to post to remind them that it would take over 3,000 state-of-the-art windmills over 300' high to power the State of Connecticut (and only during the right wind conditions...)

Considering we have battles over Cell Phone towers, and the whole state is paying something like 10% extra on our electric bills (part of the 40% rate increase in the last couple years) because the rich southwest corner wanted a 40 mile transmission line built underground so it wouldn't look ugly above ground...I would actually love to see the public reaction if you tried to build the windmills.

we have a big fight going on in stephenson il about wind mills for electricity. lots of name calling finger pointing and people promising law suits if THEY don't get their way. now we are hearing wind turbines might be better smaller in size cheaper and efficiency is greater
for their size. best part is they can be installed on top of electric poles which are already in place and are owned by electric company.
