Inside an explosive situation

A concerned citizen, Linda, sent this disturbing article along with highlights, which are posted at Common Ground United as "Inside an explosive situation." The globeandmail.com article begins,

"For Christine Mortensen, it's the headaches. Ms. Mortensen and her husband run a cattle operation near Tomslake in northeastern B.C. and live across a gravel road from an EnCana compressor site that, on occasion, flares gas 24 hours a day.

At those times, Ms. Mortensen is plagued by headaches that sap her energy and that she's convinced are related to emissions from the EnCana stack.

So she can imagine how someone might be frustrated enough by a gas operation to want to blow it into smithereens. Imagine – but not understand." More>>>>
