Explosion, Fire at Mexico Pemex Gas Facility Kills 26

I predict that no country will go cold turkey on natural gas because of this accident.

An explosion and fire killed at least 26 people at a Pemex natural gas facility in northern Mexico near the U.S. border on Tuesday, one of the deadliest accidents in the oil and gas industry in recent years.

Television footage showed flames leaping high into the sky during the blaze at a gas compression station near the city of Reynosa, a key entry point for natural gas to Mexico from the United States.

Besides, everyone's used to gas killing people so it hasn't got the shock value
to make a difference with the "potential" to kill, just more humdrum deaths
from a fossil fuel - no need to worry about BAU because of that ...
