Sometime back in the '90's, the Chronicle printed a graphic which was a pipeline map of Houston. This graphic had layered a color-coded pipeline map onto a highway map, and the color legend identified the product transported by each pipeline. Does anyone know about this map, or something similar? I have searched chron.com and the web, and would like to obtain this map. The Keystone pipeline controversy has interested me in this kind of thing.

I use the RRC GIS map about every day, just haven't had a reason to look at Houston.

I use it all the time too. Folks up north freak when I tell them oil/gas/pipelines are regulated to some extent by the Texas RR Commission. I end up giving them a history lesson.

Maybe you can explain why the proposed Keystone pipeline will 'easily leak' unlike those others.

Keystone Pipeline - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You could also look on the Enbridge website

It will leak because they don't build things like they used to anymore. We will have some cheap Chinese pipes oozing all over the darn place.

Ha ha, just kidding. You know that is all politics in an election year deal

Thanks guys for the info. Apparently considering the millions of mile of pipelines, there are resulting environmental disasters every day according to Robert Redford's logic: What If Everyone Saw This Message From Robert Redford? | MoveOn.Org

A buddy from my Vanderbilt student days apparently was impressed with the Redford bit. I would post my reply to the posting on Facebook, but maybe it is too political. Having been involved in the industrial sector here, I found it bizarre that someone from Big Entertainment is OK with huge earnings in that sector but conversely is wanting to put the screws to people wanting to make an honest living in a very different sector, so-called "Big Oil". What hypocrisy. Maybe I will post my biting reply here later. Obviously the Keystone issue is a huge factor in the future of our region, but truth is, we (Texas) didn't go for Obama in '08.
