I'm not seeing anything here about the methane leak. | ||

Insert joke about the QB already being full of gas bags... | ||

..mostly from politicians....major gas leaks there of the methane type,being as they spew so much "poop" out of their mouths.....and lies,false promises....... | ||

The mercaptan added to nat/gas stinks and is making people sick. If you want to buy a house in Porter Ranch, they are going cheap... | ||

Did the utility company add too much odorant? | ||
| Teeps |
No. The underground* storage area developed an uncontrolled leak somewhere and the gas, as I understand, is escaping through the earth. I believe the gas is being stored in depleted oil wells. *https://www.eia.gov/pub/oil_gas/natural_gas/analys is_publications/ngpipeline/undrgrnd_storage.html | ||

I eat a veggie heavy diet. I leak gas all the time. Why do farts stink? So even the deaf can enjoy them. | ||

How long till some ignition source comes into play? | ||
| Hootowl |
No telling. Someone needs to tell those ignition sources to go play elsewhere. | ||

I believe that the amount of gas escaping from the ground is too dilute to ignite. There was talk of collecting and burning the gas off but there were other concerns. So that is off the table. | ||

Methane rises. If it was propane, there would be an issue. Propane tends to find a low spot and stay there until a playful ignition source wanders by  | ||

Hard to sort out the facts with the internuts posting so much. Concerns I've read, watched: Flammable. Other hazardous Chemicals in it. Nuclear melt down from years ago just 10 miles away. Disease and virus laces leak. | ||

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliso_Canyon_gas_lea k Natural gas consists largely of methane, an invisible and odorless greenhouse gas with a global warming potential 86 times greater than carbon dioxide in a 20-year time frame, tailing off to about 29 times the effect of carbon dioxide in a 100 year time frame.[12] The leak initially released about 44,000 kilograms(kg) of methane per hour or 1,200 tons of methane every day, which in terms of greenhouse gas output per month was compared to the equivalent of what 200,000 cars would emit in a year,[2] On 14 January 2016, Time magazine compared the 1.6 million lbs. of methane each day to 6 coal fired powerplants or 2.2 million cows in one day, or driving 4.5 million cars.[13] As of January 2016, the latest methane measurement per the California Air Resources Board (Carb) was from 22 December 2015 and had decreased from a peak of 58,000±12,000 kg/h[6] to 30,300 kg/h,[9] the equivalent of "more than 1,411,851 cars" by a different calculation using EPA estimates.[14] The Aliso gas leak carbon footprint is referred to as "larger than the Deepwater Horizon leak in the Gulf of Mexico". Some big numbers if true. |
