Yeah baby! TRAINS TRAINS TRAINS. Let’s put all that oil on trains and move it around. Until there’s a railroad strike though. Then the oil won’t move along and around, like in a pipeline.
They are already moving oil by train to the West Coast refineries, which are running low due to the decrease in supply from Alaska. The Tesoro refinery in Anacortes runs entirely on shale oil from the Bakken fields and BP is using 14% of the same crude.
It’s not just oil that Obama plans to ship by train, though. He plans on shipping coal, sub-bituminous coal from the Powder River Basin as well as grain and soy beans, all to be shipped to China. That’s the bargain that Obama made with the devil.
