Now that the Keystone XL pipeline is cancelled by President Joe Biden, the world is supposedly greener.
Really? Fact is, it's the opposite. Instead of getting more environmentally friendly, the carbon footprint from that oil will be increased substantially because it will be shipped by truck and trains above ground, instead of through underground pipe. It is also much less safe and efficient: Shipping by trucks and trains means more accidents -- and an increased human cost. What sheer brilliance! I thought all of Biden’s decisions were going to be based on facts and science.
I read the other day in the WSJ, that demand for ships that specialize in building and servicing wind farms is growing. What is the carbon footprint of these ships that will be powered by oil? The oil will clearly have to come from sources other than the U.S. -- such as Russia or Iran since we are eventually going to stop producing oil over here if Biden has his way, intentionally destroying millions of jobs.
How will Biden maintain the current Trump vaccination level of one million per day without using planes, trucks, cars, and trains powered by oil? I hope the Biden administration calculates the carbon footprint of all this since that is their main concern.
But truth? Not so much. Here's another illustration: It is phenomenal that so many COVID vaccines were developed in less than a year and around 40 million vaccines have been distributed, since CNN and the Biden administration say that the Trump administration had no plan. After all, we have been told that these sources always tell the truth. To update this a bit, it turns out Biden now seems to be saying he's the one with no plan. So much for truth.

Because accidents & derailments NEVER happen.
Which means that Warren Buffett’s trains will continue moving the oil.
Gee, wonder if that was a consideration.
And to a west port for shipping to Chiinaa.
Why don’t they ignore the doddering senile fake president abd just keep doing it.
Common sense isn’t required for being a democrat. In fact, it is scorned.
Bingo.
The one who made the largest payoffs won, simple as that.
This makes one think. And how the Deep State works
And the methane flared into the air.
That’s the way it’s been moved for years but yes, a pipe spills 40 times less oil than trains and trucks. Also trains and trucks run right alongside rivers often and for many miles at a time, pipes rarely do.
Pipelines, which also don’t use fuel to move product, are much more environmentally friendly than trains and trucks.
Buffet bought his railroad years and needs more tanker cars to be filled up. That is what’s really behind this.
Exactly—just ask the folks in Lac-Mégantic...
Biden.....who is lost at sea, will not last more then a few months...and that press secretary of his is an absolute moron and butt wipe combined. The woman cannot answer a simple question with facts...truly a 100% dummy.
Anyone that thinks Biden is with it and a leader is smoking far too much reefer, drinking too much booze or just simply insane. You know what we New Yorker street kids call Biden...”Dumb F__K”!!!
Now that the Keystone XL pipeline is cancelled by President Joe Biden, the world is supposedly greener.
Yup, the a holes who listen about such nonsense don’t realize the oil is going to be produced, it is just going elsewhere. So, rather than going to refineries in the much controlled USA, it will be on its way to the non controlled areas like China. You know, like where there are building coal fired electric plants at the rate of about 1 a day because they are considered a developing nation!
Actually, the oil from Canada will CONTINUE to be moved by truck and railroad. The pipeline is not yet completed.
It is if you are a Teamster and your union gave millions to the Marxist campaign.
Isn’t it great that the oil from Canada will now be moved by trains and trucks?

Warren Buffet is all smiles. His trains do explode once in a while in the middle of some fly over town, but that’s the price of doing billions of dollars of business each year. You’ll love the excitement and the graphic news stories.
Hazardous rail trafffic - bump for later....
