Live oil is measured in barrels, not gallons.
Please stop confusing the DEMOCRAT narrative with FACTS and MATH. According to Democrats, both are only understandable to those with White Privilege which is racist and demeaning to their RETARTED Base of voters.
You should be ashamed of using Facts & Math as a weapon !!!!
Factors of safety, terrorist attacks and politics must be included in the equation.
Here is where I disagree. The, “how could people be so stupid”, rant is a cover. These leftists know exactly what they’re doing.
Raw Barrel = 42 Gallons
Refined Barrel = 55 Gallons
You know what, transport companies had this figured out years and years ago as to what was the most efficient way to ship goods.
Don’t be so technical — the world cannot distinguish between Arab Heavy and Virgin Olive oil.
Greenies are NUTS !!!
I’m surprised the lefties haven’t figured out a auto train for long distant travel.
But they are not about solutions..they just want to shut everything off and put everyone in lockdown.
Do they still run that from the NYC area to Florida? Haven’t heard anything lately.
Yep.
But it’s Va to Fl.
Thanks, will share.
What if we build a giant rail gun in the Middle East to launch the oil to other continents on a ballistic trajectory, and then slow it down with a parachute?
Which argues against trains as those can be easily sabotaged — killing the crews. Pipelines auto shutoff if pressure drops, leaving only a large puddle to clean up, not bodies.
Train operators were big campaign donors to BeijingBiden and all Democrats.
And RINO’s probably, too.
Some new ships and older ships also are being converted to LNG. When the first ships were built to carry LNG from Indonesia to Japan, the fuel they used was LNG. My memory is hazy on this (40 years ago) but as I recall some LNG is evaporated during the voyage, the ship designers developed a system to capture that evaporated LNG and use it in the ship’s boilers.
In general the author’s conclusions are correct, oil used as bunker fuel is not LNG!
Warren Buffet and his company own a lot of shares in railroads.
Ping
Sp, they did a conversion to make it more understandable to more people who can visualize a gallon but not a barrel of raw oil.
