[BC] Re: BPL flaws or fiber down the gas line

[Al Wolfe]

     OK, so what happens when the gas company or some one else decides to 
turn off the gas? I'd think that valves would be really hard on any fiber 
bundles running through them. What about pressure regulators?

    Also, do gas pipes have that much reserve cross sectional area to get 
filled up with a bunch of fiber and still work as a gas delivery system?

    Just pondering.
