2024 NE Senate race: on Energy & Oil

Peter Ricketts: Pipeline accidents are terrible but we can't take zero risk

When it comes to how do you transport the things we need, like energy and oil, there's no safe way to do within pipelines. While there are going to be accidents --and those are terrible--they need to be cleaned up and addressed right away. If you look at it compared to other forms of transportation, this is less risky. So, there are going to be accidents. We need to have plans in place to respond to them. We can't shut down society because we're willing to take zero risk.
