See again, you don't understand why it's relevant. Some people just have no shame in showing how stupid they are I guess. AGAIN, for the HUNDRETH TIME, companies aren't deliberately trying to put people's lives in danger, it's just that there's no human that can calculate the amount of force needed at these booster stations to keep the petrol flowing as quickly and as safely as SCADA can. There's literally no reason for people to be stationed there IF THEY CAN'T EVEN DO THAT. That's all the booster stations are for, just to keep pushing the petrol down the pipeline. SCADA then sends alerts to operators in various states who monitor literally THOUSANDS of sites.

Exxon, Southern Company, Colpipe and others, aren't going to pay THOUSANDS more engineers to man these sites, because as I've already explained, they can't even do what SCADA does on the fly, and secondly, that would be an absolutely INSANE expense for the company. They're either going to take it out of engineers' salaries, or push it onto the consumer. Controls engineers and petrol engineers are already a niche role and scarce, so they'll likely push costs onto the consumer which means your gas would cost something retarded like 10 dollars a gallon if they shifted in the completely ridiculous direction you're suggesting.

Economically AND technologically illiterate. Man you are on a ROLL. Keep it going! xD
