HOW MANY PIPELINES DO WE HAVE IN THIS COUNTRY FOR OIL PRODUCTS

HERE IS SOME INFO. I FOUND:
There are two general types of energy pipelines – oil pipelines and natural gas pipelines. Within each group are subsets that serve very specific portions of the energy marketplace.

Within the oil pipeline network there are both crude oil lines and refined product lines.

Crude oil is also subdivided in to 'Gathering Lines' and 'Trunk Lines.'

First, gathering lines are very small pipelines usually from 2 to 8 inches in diameter in the areas of the country in which crude oil is found deep within the earth. It is estimated that there are between 30,000 to 40,000 miles of these small gathering lines located primarily in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Wyoming with small systems in a number of other oil producing states. These small lines gather the oil from many wells, both onshore and offshore, and connect to larger trunk lines measuring from 8 to 24 inches in diameter.

Trunk lines include a few very large lines, such as the Trans Alaska Pipeline System, which is 48 inches in diameter. The larger cross-country crude oil transmission pipelines bring crude oil from producing areas to refineries. There are approximately 55,000 miles of crude oil trunk lines in the U.S.

The next group of oil pipelines are those carrying refined petroleum products – gasoline, jet fuel, home heating oil and diesel fuel.

These refined product pipelines vary in size from relatively small 8 to 12 inch diameter lines up to 42 inches in diameter. Refined products pipelines are found in almost every state in the U.S, with the exception of some New England states. The total mileage nationwide of refined products pipelines is approximately 95,000 miles. These pipelines deliver petroleum products to large fuel terminals with storage tanks to be loaded into tanker trucks. Trucks cover the last few miles to make local deliveries to gas stations and homes. Major industries, airports and electrical power generation plants are supplied directly by pipeline.

The natural gas pipeline system is organized somewhat differently.
I heard boone pickens on good morning joe this morning saying for all the pipelines we have their are very few spills! he est. about 100,000 gals. a year! when you figure the damage that could do to a watershed thats still a big risk. I could say that in 68 years we only dropped 2 nuclear bombs in war and killed a few hundred thousand people ! and in that same period of time we killed millions in conflicts on this planet;so therefore atomic weapons aren't that deadly! would you call that spin? would you call that accurate? how about taking a poll? which are you more likely survive in battle a bullet or artillery?
what about this poll : how likely are your chances of survival if your within 1 mile of an atomic blast? hmmm
