| There are currently 139 operating oil refineries in the United States, producing nearly 18 million barrels of crude oil daily. Considering that a vast majority of the 165,000 miles of U.S. oil pipeline is at least 35 years old, the aging pipeline infrastructure is nearing the end of (or has already passed) its serviceable life. Catastrophic oil leaks have already occurred all over the world, and leaks and spills will continue to occur as our pipeline continues to age. The problem, like so many others that we face, is one of money. Pipeline is corroding and aging faster than we can replace it, and it’s racking up a bill that no one can afford. Kent Moors, an acclaimed oil and gas policy expert, says that “the immediate need worldwide [for oil pipeline repair] is put at $500 billion… and it’s growing by about a billion dollars every week.” So how do we reduce this huge bill, you ask? With HJ3’s carbon fiber, of course! |
