As the use of natural gas booms in the United States, scientists are testing for pipeline leaks. They found more than 5,800 leaks under the streets of Washington, D.C., some potentially explosive.

We are joined by one of the principals in these studies, Dr. Nathan Phillips, a professor at Boston University. Dr. Phillips goes over the nature of the study, the risks to trees and human health, and the climate change risks.

Here in maine our Tea Party governor sees nat gas as a panacea for all our ills.
Short memory of past and future gas price spikes not to mention the safety concerns you note
as well as destruction of millions of gallons of water to extract this temporary non renewable resource!!
