Doesn’t the bitumen get shipped from Canada via rail right now or am I wrong?
If true and from a green energy point of view, what difference does it make if the bitumen is shipped by rail or pipeline to the Houston refineries?
From a safety point of view it seems a pipeline would be a smart idea.
They do not care about safety. They care about lessening the
cost of shipping the oil from Canada to the refineries anywhere in the world. If they lower the cost of shipment, they will increase their return FOB Alberta. This will mean they will INCREASE production of oils sand extraction.
The greenies think this oil sand excavation is the worst sin against the earth ever. Worse than Open PIT COAL MINES.
