Save Lake Peigneur!

Lake Peigneur is making headlines once again as unusual bubbling events in the water have residents worried that the natural gas stored in the unstable salt dome below is posing a threat to their community.

The salt mines are unstable and under the lake salt-mines are more prone to instability. A reason for building a storage facility there must be to have pleasure causing both death and destruction.

salt + water = bubbles = soda water...problem solved

Well done! I've always been fascinated by the story of Lake Peigneur. No loss of life in such a disaster is unheard of. I'm afraid the lake residents won't be so lucky the second time around.  Maybe we can schedule Jindal for a fishing trip out that way sometime soon?

I think it is terrible that the state of La. would take a chance that this could blow up, cave in or just result in one loss of life. I give this a 5 star but accidently hit the 1 trying to rate. You can't rate over.

i agree with you Jerry... we too HOPE that they company is not allowed to do this too! :)

I wish the media would air more information on this matter - The public needs to know - we never seem to follow up on these disaster.

I will never have Natural Gas. I can't believe big business lies. How can you relate the bubbling to something else.

AGL could develop storage caverns at the Henry Hub, a central pipeline distribution which also has a saltdome and in a rural location. While they have spent millions fighting those fighting to protect their lives and environment why not invest at Henry Hub? Why doesn't AGL say the truth? An explosion at Henry Hub risks the pipeline. Why risk the pipeline for 5000 people?

you are so rightabout would will it take for the state & federal agencies to pay attention. we need to consider the water from the Aquifa they will be using never to be used again, at least the farmers water usage will eventually return to the aquifa. We need to get more people to pay attention to this & have the state vote on a water regulation bill.
