[quote:Pole Cat:MV8zODA4Mjc3XzY4Mzg3MzE2X0Q0QjZCRkE=] In the September HSToday I wrote the one-page story, “The Case of Cushing,” that was part of our special report, “Petro Jihad,” that examined oil and gas production and distribution infrastructure security throughout North America. But emphasis on its security was found wanting. Even former CIA Director James Woolsey, an advisor to the Institute for the Analysis of Global Security, admitted the facility isn’t sufficiently hardened against attack. He described it as “a soft target.” Authorities say it shouldn’t be! https://www.hstoday.us/kimery-report/us-oil-complex-vulnerable-to-attack/ [/quote]

The United States has the largest network of energy pipelines in the world, with more than 2.4 million miles of pipe.
The network of crude oil pipelines in the U.S. is extensive. There are approximately 72,000 miles of crude oil lines in the U.S. that connect regional markets.
Map of liquids pipelines locations:

Anyone here on GLP privy on what the ramifications would be if these pipelines were targeted or hit with a nuclear bomb?
also was just wondering what the ramifications would be on underground bunkers and shelters?
