It seems it would be terribly inefficient, but the graphics that have been posted seem to show long pipelines to not be all that unusual. I appreciate the education. :)

Pipelines are actually slightly more efficient than even super-tankers.

The envriofascist/MSM complex has been fully engaged in a huge propaganda and disinformation campaign against all practical forms of energy, and the oil sands in particular. It's not surprising that you were under the impression that a X-country pipeline would be unusual, and inefficient. That's what they want you to believe. They also want you to believe that a pipeline would do great environmental damage.
