If there’s a leak from a pipeline at least you can shut off some valves to mitigate it.
YES, an excellent point
And history has shown us, what do the ideologues and marxists do when their destruction is revealed? They blame hidden saboteurs, capitalists and political opponents. That's coming next. We'll see lots of blather from the AOC types, some fake "commission" set up to investigate, and public demands for "climate justice" from NGOs.

"They blame hidden saboteurs, capitalists and political opponents."
They're blaming Trump for reversing some Obama Executive Order regarding our rail system.
“It appears these derailments are targeted and facilitated by this handy tool.”
Anyone caught with such a tool needs to spend a decade or three in their local prison.
Why are these derailments suddenly occurring at almost the same time?

Some of Biden’s cronies are getting rich off the closure of the Keystone.
There was another Norfolk souther derailment in Detroit area today
Stolen elections have huge unforseen consequences.
Warren Buffett owns a train company that hauls the oil that would have been sent by pipeline instead. He cost 70,000 people their jobs here in the USA and Canada when he bribed the democrats to cancel Keystone.
