SAMANTHA PAGE, ThinkProgress: California’s gas leak has released almost 90,000 metric tons of methane since October.
That’s the equivalent of $14 million worth of natural gas. And the environment effects? It’s about equal to putting an extra 1.41 million cars on the road.That’s right, this is pretty much California’s biggest leak ever.
SoCal Gas, which owns the leaking storage facility, doesn’t know what cause the rupture, and stopping this volcano of gas? It’s complicated. They expect it’ll take about another whole month.
But don’t worry...
The U.S. is the largest consumer of natural gas in the world. We have about 400 storage facilities like this. So it's just a matter of time before this happens again. Isn’t that something?
