a pipeline designed to bring gas from one end of pennsylvania to the other continues to spark controversy in the keystone state. the pennsylvania department of environmental protection fined sunoco more than $12 million for various permit violations. but it also cleared the way for digging to resume. and residents are outraged. as you can see, the mariner east 2 pipeline runs right through town. and through some of the most densely populated parts of the state. eventually, it will carry liquid natural gas to a shipping terminal where it will be exported overseas. pipelines are nothing new to
