If Engineers Built Bridges...

...the way legislators wrote laws, the United States would end at the first creek west of Plymouth Rock.

There will be a ballot question in Lafayette CO. in November which was originally thought to ban fraccing within the city limits. It states that no oil or gas will be transported in pipelines within the city limits.

Presumably it would be legal to have a propane tank outside your home, but a tap into a natural gas line would be a no-no, requiring Exell Energy to turn off the natural gas supply to the entire city.

I suppose that if this bit of Luddite tomfoolery passes, the city council will rise to the occasion and quickly pass an exemption for Exell to pump gas into the town for use by the residents while forbidding the transport of gas out of town for use by the rest of us.
