Is this a joke?
With Obama sitting on the no-brainer Keystone pipeline decision to keep the money pouring in from the tree and bunny crowd, this rube thinks more should be shipped by pipeline? Can’t make this stuff up.
The money flows best, on either side, as long as their remains a possibility of approval.
sigh....
The oil that they want to prevent from being shipped is oil from the Bakken fields to west coast refineries.
Part of the problem is the fact that the administration is pushing increased coal trains for the same rails. With coal trains running at the rate of one and hour to the far Northwest, and more in the Eastern part of WA.
The part of the problem with the oil train traffic is that the RRs bear a very small portion of the liability in the case of an accident or explosion. Tax payers foot the bill for train accidents because that’s the way its always been.
The government is preparing to give in to Enviros on the oil trains to try to make up for the coal trains.
