“will accelerate U.S. addiction to Canadian oil,”
heaven forbid, we should instead be addicted to Chavez oil.
Another great graphic, Hack! We especially need that lower segment running south from Cushing.
If you’re like me, you have a huge pile of books to read.
However, as you are a oil/gas historian, you need to read “Titan: The Life of John D. Rockefeller, Sr.” It tells extensively about John D’s dealings with the railroad and his use of pipelines for distributing his products.
John D understood early on that refining was merely one part of the process, and that distribution was even more important.
Looks like a proposed new 36 inch line all the way except for the section between Steele City and Cushing. It would would bring a lot of new product to the Gulf Coast for refining.
