In the future, we may be able to rely solely on renewable energy resources, but for now oil and gas are essential to the operations of our country and our state. These fuels are highly flammable and generally quite dangerous if not handled with the utmost of care. Although it is too early to identify a cause in Sunday’s refinery fire, many oil and gas accidents occur because an entity failed to respect these potentially hazardous substances.
