Buffet has tank car and railroad interests. I think he does care!
Having railroad interests means that Buffet has interest in natural gas as a potential future fuel. But he has no interest in transporting it -- tank car shipment of natural gas via rail simply isn't economically feasible.
It would require insulated and reinforced tank cars to contain LNG or CNG -- expensive to build, heavy and expensive to transport. Plus, it magnifies the liability of violent explosion.
Some compressed gasses are shipped by rail, but that is usually in the form of car load lots of cylinders.
By poison, I presume you mean oil wells and gas flares. Maybe you should look at the benefits of this. Black equals green: In New Mexico it provides 31% of the tax revenue for the entire state. My local small community is number 3 in the state in the amount of tax revenue just behind Santa Fe and with ABQ #1. Unemployment is between 2 and 3% and the median income exceeds $60,000. If this green is poison, I'll take it.
Who get their money from the Saudis.
No that is not what was refered to as poison, the poison refered to is GMO wheat, GMO soy beans, and canola.
My bad -- Sorry.
