I have to wonder it this gas leak isn’t precursor to some large geological event.
Moonbeam Brown’s environmentalist sister is on the board of the CRONY capitalist corporation that owns that gas well.
Imagine this...times 2,250,000,000
The leak is from a manmade underground gas storage reservoir. It’s surplus/unwanted byproduct from energy wells that gets pumped back into the ground.
Paging “The Rock”: Mega-Disaster in SoCal imminent. Methane explosion to level L.A., set off San Andreas Fault.
Underground storage facility
Leak is more centrally located than this article implies
Mentioning the Los Angeles centric population figures is journalistic malpractice
There is a problem. It isn’t minor.
It still isn’t a threat to all of Los Angeles.
Still something has caused it to start leaking. A possible shift/break in the earth is as logical a reason as any other.
They are supposed to burn that stuff off.
Brown and his sister look alike, too.
Quick! Somebody light a match!
That term is essentially a redundancy anymore when applied to 90% of news resources.
It is a leak in a decades old well pipe.

Is it too diluted to ignite?
Reminds me of the Texas story of an oilman dies and goes to heaven. St Peter greets him and says it is a bit late so we are going to put you up for the night in one of our guest facilities till morning. Next morning comes, St Peter meets the oilman and asks how were the accommodations. Oilman says, nice but you know up in Dallas they have this place called The Mansion and it is a wee bit better. St Peter says, humm, tell you what, we are going to put you up in one of our resorts tonight and tomorrow we talk again. Next morning a beaming St Peter asks how was that? Oilman says well it was nice but you know down in Texas in Austin a resort called Barton Creek has better golf facilities so it is a wee bit better than your resort. St Peter now really exasperated pulls the oilman over by the neck, pushes his head down to peer into the fire and brimstone of hell and says to the oilman you got anything in Texas like that? Oil man says no sir, but we got a couple of ole boys in Houston put that fire out in 30 minutes.
Lemme guesss.....
EnviroWhackos would not let them burn it off at the well site, because that would be creating greenhouse gasses. SO the utility has been pumping it all underground in the hopes that someday it will become someone else’s problem.
No it's a storage facility to ensure supplies for the higher demand colder winter months.
I know LA cold doesn't came close to most of the US, but they think it's cold...:^)
