9. But but but pipelines are safe!

Just ask California.
The pipe line was built in 1953 and this dumb redneck thinks it may need some maintenance. Rip it out and replace it with state of the art equipment and steel. News flash there has been a lot of improvement in steel in the last 68 years. That pipe has been underwater for 68 years.
