Go for it; build a 3XL pipeline.....
Warren Buffett owns a good piece of them thar railroads and that beast has to be fed.
Obama doesn’t get the fact that we are “refiners”....
No, no, you don’t understand - pollution from a leak in a pipeline is SO much worse than the equal amount lost in a train derailment.
Especially when the persons with an interest in rail transport of crude oil contribute more in political payoffs than the persons who have an interest in pipelines.
Stop pandering to special interests, and sign it! Finish the pipeline!
1. I wonder what oil from North Dakota was doing in West Virginia.
2.The Keystine XL pipeline is is supposed to go from Alberta to Nebraska, where it will connect on to pipelines that go to Illinois and Texas. How is this going to help West Virginia?

Think of all the carbon that was released by the burning oil.
It must have sped up global warming by a few years ///puke
Our country is criss crossed by thousands of miles of pipelines, many decades old. How many pipeline disasters do we have compared to rail accidents? The XL Pipeline will cross mainly farmland and rural areas while rail lines inevitably travel through populated areas. The environmental concerns about the pipeline are overblown
KEYSTONE PIPELINE PING
The same Greenies who would derail a train to prove how dangerous it is to ship oil by rail would not hesitate to blow up a pipeline to prove how dangerous it is to pipe oil.
Utter nonsense, of course. The Keystone Pipeline won't go anywhere near Virginia, which is where the crude oil was headed.
What it does underscore is the apparent problem keeping railcars on the tracks.
At least it wasn't Hydroflouric acid, or anhydrous ammonia, or any one of a number of far nastier substances shipped by rail.
There is currently a trend shifting toward more durable railcars, or modified ones which can better resist the effects of wrecking the train, but the bottom line is that the cargo isn't a problem if the train just stays on the tracks.
One last thing--cleanup will be easier after the crude burns off than it would be if the fire was put out (and less dangerous, too).
