Re: And this is why

How can you pierce a iron/steel gas line with a 6 foot copper rod? And how did the gas get inside the house from outside?
Cause most gas lines put in over the last several years are plastic.

So you'd rather have the rusty metal?

I'm sure that if someone was really determined to drive that ground rod in they could puncture metal pipe too.

You think using a heavy material that corrodes easily, can create sparks AND carry an electric current safer then a nuetral, non-corrosive and non-conductive material that will not create sparks under any circumstances?

Scary. Not to mention that the approved piping for this sort of thing is tested and certified under very strict rules right?
