May not be the right rail cars?! Didn't "the Oracle of Omaha", Warren Buffet, think of that before he dumped tons of $$ into the lobbying efforts against the Keystone XL pipeline so that his Burlington Northern railroad would reap the benefits?! /s
Ask the folks in the Kanawha River region of WV how “safe” Warren Buffet’s tank trains are.
To be fair, the infrastructure to offload product at tank farms by rail or boat has deteriorated or does not exist. Likewise, the human capital needed to manually operate the pipeline has deterioted or no longer exists. Still the situation is so ludicrous it easily gives birth to thoughts of conspiracy.
