Yeah, I assume there's gotta be a better way. Like clogging it beyond repair (shut off+completely solidified), siphoning operations (assuming a spill isn't caused)... And in either case, converting it into something less bad and/or storing the carbon in a stable manner.

(Although even rebuilding from what I see may be at least $1M-$2M per mile, they sure have the money but it's not insignificant either)

Run for office(or help someone) and make changes.

Ah yes, in 50 years we can make a real difference! If even that due to our flawed (FPtP) voting system and money in politics. We should give it a try though, as I don't think anyone has ever tried it before. Particularly as I assume these sorts of problems became known just this year... because otherwise we would've fixed them with our caring, functional, and proactive government ((/s))

This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.


Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.
