It’s hard for oil in a pipeline to collide with a truck.
Sounds like the tanks were empty.
Well, thank heavens the oil wasn’t in a pipeline.
All concentrated and contained like that, it could explode and burn.
Yes? What? Oh, really?!
...never mind.
Consequences of the Keystone XL Pipeline shutdown. It’ll be happening with more frequency, from now on.
If only there was a safer way to transport oil.</sarcasm>
That’s a Texas Barbecue.
See?! If that truck was carrying wind turbines and solar panels this wouldn’t have happened! ~sarc
You are deliberately distracting from the fact that oil pipelines are dangerous for the environment. They caused pollution, racism, homophobia, transphobia and affect women of color and children disproportionately. You are a fascist. (/Democrat)
Man, that’s a lot of carbon! Somebody better tell Kerry that we now only have 8 years left.
A great advertisement for pipelines.
Pipelines would have saved this from happening...but were stupid
Buffett made a $34 billion dollar investment in the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad (BNSF) one year after Obama was elected. BNSF essentially invented the business of carrying crude oil by rail when it launched its first long oil train in 2009. Rail shipments from North Dakota have surged from fewer than 100,000 barrels a day in 2010 to 800,000 barrels a day last October.

could this be a wag the dog instance where the oil company staged this to show how dangerous trucking oil can be?
Ding, ding, ding... we have a thread winnah!
I thought all the old RR tankers were removed from service...
Expected false flag. It will be used by Biden to shut down Texas oil production.
(...and people wonder why I’m leaving this country)
Yes, Mister Buffett. I was having a brain fart trying to recall the name.
He won’t be happy about this, he owns the insurance company too.
Buffett owns most of them, and Steyer owns a few, too. They’ve been praying for the KXL to be shut down, to pick-up the transport business.
