It's economic survival in Canada, where between bottlenecks and gluts, the gap between what Alberta crude fetches compared to the world market has sent Alberta and the federal government scrambling for spending cuts.

I agree, we've got to get the oil moving south, but there are a couple of snags.

The biggest problem I see with the article is that they mentioned a hot steaming platter of crawfish. Caused a huge issue for me. I haven’t had any for a while and now I got this huge craving for some. There’s supposedly somebody in the north Lake Tahoe area raising some so I just might have to do some searching. Now if we were piping crawfish from one place to another, I might be lookin’ for some work on the receiving end.

Crawfish molon labe.

Gonna be a long wait.

NIMBYs come lately in Nebraska, flush with flows of government debt.

Some of the Texas right of way for this pipeline has already been bought and paid for.

Some of the information here looks questionable:

North Dakota now produces more oil than Alaska and they're nipping at the leader Lone Star State's heels

Does nipping at the heals equal making about 1/3???

Texas Field Production of Crude Oil
http://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/LeafHandler.ashx?n=PET&s=MCRFPTX2&f=M

Nov 2012:
North Dakota = 731 MBPD
Texas = 2,139 MBPD

A million barrels of oil from North Dakota's Bakken formation ships east by train each day.

According to North Dakota Industrial Commission, Department of Mineral Resources, Oil and Gas Division, the entire state reached = 733,078 barrels/day in November. The majority ships on rail, going East, West and South to the Gulf.

A couple months ago, they said:

Crude oil take away via pipeline is now 39% of daily production, but transportation by rail at 51% and truck at 2% plus Tesoro refining 8% are adequate to keep up with near term production projections.

That breakdown was when the state was producing = 728,494 barrels/day.

And now the author claims a million barrels is headed east on rail. B.S.

What else did he make up or not research for this writing?
