Methane Continues to Spew Into Air Over California ‘Absolutely Uncontained’
In what is being called the worst environmental disaster since the Gulf of Mexico BP oil spill in 2010, methane gas has been pouring into the air over California’s Aliso Canyon, near Los Angeles, at the rate of approximately 1200 tons each day since October.
The massive leak is spewing 110,000 pounds of the gas per hour from a cold-war era energy facility storage. Currently 1,700 homes have had to be evacuated, and the Southern California Gas Company estimates that they will not be able to stop the leak until “late February or late March.”
The Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) released footage taken with an infrared camera showing massive amounts of the foul smelling gas billowing from the leak and called it “one of the biggest leaks we’ve ever seen reported” and “absolutely uncontained.” …. http://sputniknews.com/us
