I know, a pipeline would be ideal, but a train is the next best thing until a pipeline can be built, plus we already ship most of the supplies for building those pipelines, and oil fields, and fracking sand, and all sorts of other stuff, and have track into those regions already. Every bit helps.
Full Disclosure: I work for Buffet’s Railroad.
Here is the non-logic of thinking Buffet would be mad if they built the pipeline(beyond the idea that people really think Obama cares what anyone thinks, including Buffet)...
If it is profitable to transport oil with trains now, and it is, it will still be profitable when a pipeline is built. On top of that as some have stated here, who is going to move the supplies to build the pipeline? That is right, rail roads.
Warren is going to make big bucks whether there is a pipeline or not.
