No state agency is taking responsibility for making sure the privately built lines that power many oil and gas sites are safe. Such lines have been blamed for sparking two recent Panhandle fires.

      No, but I’m sure there is a solar field or wind turbine that some crack will be sprinkled on to explain it.

        I mean we know they need to be winterized but goddamn this seems a little excessive.

    This sounds like a recipe for an explosion. Is centerpoint involved in any way? /s
