Was thinking about Cathie, and grids and energy flows, and started doing some looking about on the pipelines within the US, and it struck me that these pipelines are generally thought of as a singular product carrier.

i.e. an 'oil' pipeline.

Modern pipelines are multi carriers of various grades and types of oils, which are often only one of the materials being transported.

The viscosity of the oil allows other products, such as gasses and even solids (coal, minerals) to be placed within the flow.

At the other end, the various products are separated.

With that in mind, the no fly zone over the spill, a side from covering the mess from the public eye, may also be about methane or gas release from the same pipeline.

They can also be considered giant, hollow cables, as they traverse large distances, and are one piece, and there fore able to sustain a wave form within them, or even carry basic frequencies from one point to another. A covert network outside the usual channels.

This also makes them especially vulnerable to CMEs and other incomming radiation from space.

That incomming information might be captured by oil pipelines, and transferred to the oil within is ironic.

Ironic? or planned.
