Annnnnd.... another Colorado natural gas blowout. 25 people evacuated.

This is further north than the Firestone explosion or yesterday's storage explosion - close to the Wyoming border - and a different company. It's blowing raw natural gas straight into the atmosphere.

Fun fact: Most oil and gas equipment has a 10 year production lifespan. Most of the hardware currently in use went into the ground between 2007 and 2012. This is a 2011 well.
