Dangerous Natural Gas Explosion Levels Homes In Queens New York.
Edited on Mon Oct-26-09 09:07 PM by NNadir
FLUSHING (WABC) -- There was a major gas explosion in a row of homes in Flushing, Queens, Monday night.
The explosion happened inside 32-25 Leavitt Street just before 8 p.m. All the occupants have been accounted for.
Two occupants were pulled out of the building by firefighters. One is reportedly more seriously hurt than the other, but neither appears to be life threatening.
According to reports, the back of the home is blown out and the front is bowed out. The back of the building suffered the most damage.


http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/story?section=news/local&id=7084090">Dangerous Natural Gas Explosion Oct 26, 2009, Queens NY.

This is one of a regular series of dangerous natural gas explosions and accidents that have been going on around our country, zero of which have caused Amory Lovins or any of the lower members of the clergy to call for banning dangerous natural gas, or the dumping of dangerous natural gas waste.

http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/05/07/maryland.gas.blast/index.html">Earlier this year 8 firefirefighters and one employee of a gas country, regrettably not Gerhard Schroeder were injured in a gas explosion in a Maryland strip mall.


http://www.click2houston.com/news/21393429/detail.html">Just a few days back, dangerous natural gas explosions destroyed a home in Texas.

I have already covered the Puerto Rico explosions a few days ago.

In fact, dangerous natural gas explosions are becoming so common lately that it now appears that http://www.cleveland.com/nation/index.ssf/2009/06/pastor_td_jakes_home_is_rocked.html">even God can't protect one from dangerous natural gas tragedy.

Of course the real tragedy of dangerous natural gas is the fact that the anti-nuke cults work so hard for its expanded use. Not less more than a few years ago, two corrupt German politicians, Joschka Fischer and Gerhard Scroeder set in motion to destroy Germany's largest, by far, source of climate change gas free energy - although it had actually injured no one - on the grounds that nuclear energy was in their words (though not in the words of anyone who can count) "too dangerous." Schroeder's salary is now paid by Gazprom. Fischer's salary is paid by another Russian gas company Nabucco.

Have a nice evening. Check for leaks.

2. I always call dangerous natural gas, dangerous, as well referring to dangerous coal as and...
Edited on Mon Oct-26-09 09:08 PM by NNadir
...dangerous oil as "dangerous oil."

This is because all three of these fuels kill continuously both in normal use and in accidental situations. Years in which they are all used safely have not been observed at any time in the past century.

Like "clean coal," "safe natural gas" would be an oxymoron.

Dangerous natural gas waste is rapidly accumulating in the atmosphere - scientists have no practical solution with how to prevent it or how to store it forever. No permanent repositories are planned for it.

5. Yes, extremely so by comparison to any other form of energy.
You are free, if you wish, to identify even one person, just one, who has been killed in the United States by the use of commercial nuclear fuels in this country in the more than 50 year history of commercial nuclear power in this country.

I have no doubt, that you may try to do this, on the grounds that you preserve special standards for nuclear energy that you would not dream of applying to any other form of energy.

I couldn't fucking care less about your arbitrary attention which actually kills people.

You see, nuclear power need not be perfect to be vastly superior, in any criteria you choose, to the risks of other forms of energy about which you couldn't care less.

Thus when nuclear power is not used, and less safe forms of energy are white washed and green washed by inattention, people die.

And let's be clear on something, every person in this country who dies from air pollution is killed by the failure to store dangerous fossil fuel waste.

This means, in effect, that millions of people have actually died from dangerous fossil fuel waste because a mindless set of dilatory anti-nuke brats have laid on the back seats of their cars, picking lint out of their navels and having fantasies about how, maybe, somehow, in some way, some one somewhere might be injured by used nuclear fuel.

Got it?

No fucking clue?

Why am I not suprised?

6. Nice personal attacks, shill
And which purveyor of nuclear waste do you work for, exactly?

Neglected infrastructure (i.e. gas lines) can go bad. Believe me, I had my front lawn ripped up by the gas company just this last summer for that very reason. A pain in the ass, but it obviously beats the alternative.

But when a nuclear leak happens, it's not as simple as roll out a truck and bring a shovel, a wrench, and a new pipe. Gas, when used properly is relatively safe. Nuclear waste isn't, and never will be.

4. "Dangerous" would seem to be redundant here.
As in "Dangerous Natural Gas Explosion". Are there other kinds?

7. Better that it be a safe nuclear explosion.
I'm sold on safe nuclear power now! Gas explodes.
