It’s not the technology, it’s the people. A generation ago, this would have been feasible. But this type of job requires special skills. Skills that today’s generation of slackers and graduates in Women and Communist Studies don’t possess.

And bypass the railroads. Which is exactly why such a system was invented and installed by J. D. Rockefeller at the beginning of the 19th century in his fight against the railroads who kept jacking up their rates for transporting kerosene.

Funny thing though. Looks like we’re right back to that same situation all over again, except this time the White House is squarely on the side of the current railroad robber barons in thwarting pipeline construction.

Somebody should invent a system of personal liberty and private property.
