So trains can’t transport fossil fuel and the idiot shut down keystone.
1) In the earliest days of fracking in remote North Dakota there were no pipelines in place to carry the crude so it got trucked to rail centers, loaded on tank rail cars and sent to refineries. Several of those rail cars blew up. The crude was not chemically what the cars were designed for (conventional, non fracked crude is not identical to fracked crude). This got addressed with rail car upgrades. So explosions CAN happen.
2) Any time you cryo cool natgas you start to get loss. Storage is never perfect. It boils off and disappears into the atmosphere. This is a significant reason why LNG ships carrying nat gas cannot price like piped gas. The ship’s fuel cost and the lost product enroute. This will be no different with rail cars. We should not be knee jerking support for LNG rail transport. It is not admirable.
3) Yes the envirowhackos will oppose anything at all. But no, this is not the hill to die on because LNG transport sucks. Gas transport is pretty damn good. LNG, nope.
"We have plans to build a railroad from the Pacific all the way across the Indian Ocean," Biden told a crowd at a League of Conservation Voters event on Wednesday. A railway of that duration, if it began at the Asian coast of the Pacific Ocean and ran all the way across the Indian Ocean into Africa, would be more than 5,000 miles long.
Another possible option based on Biden's wording is a train that begins in the Western United States and spans across two oceans and several nations, totaling a length of more than 10,000 miles.
He further announced a project in Angola before stopping himself halfway through the idea.
Ha.....He Lost his Train of Thought.......(no pun intended)......../snicker
