In this installment of "The Green Room," we have the second in our series on pipelines. - July 27, 2018: Pipelines-Part 1 (Radio)
Why do some people feel oil and gas pipelines are a good and necessary part of our lives, while others fight against them? To tackle this question, first we need to understand the basics: We all know what a pipeline is. But what they carry, where they are, and why there are so many, are questions most of us aren’t so sure about.
