Much good advice offered here except the obvious--build a pipeline.

build a pipeline.

I was about to say, isn't there a solution that we've used before to transport oil across country.... :)

[rktman]

Roger that. No more “To hell with XL” crap. Build the friggin’ thing and we can all move to Beverly. NOT hills either.

. . . oil trains, which pass through many densely populated parts of the United States.

In most instances, the tracks were there before the people moved in.

And still nothing is being done about the tragedy of 35,000 deaths each year from automobiles...

[vpintheak]

Well, since they already have a Right-of-way for the tracks...
How about scrap the tracks, and build a pipeline instead?

George Soros makes $2 and a half billion every year the Keystone pipeline isn’t built.

That’s why Obama is blocking it.

Hey! Now listen! It is simple!

The Train Lobbyist are paying damn good money to keep their rail lines open. They don’t want pipes stealing their “entitlement.”

Children this is how Washington works. Forget all that Constitution BS.

The best Government you can buy.

Now go on back and vote for the “voice.” Your voice is not needed.

“When the gas-laden oil arrives at refineries, the gases can be separated, processed and sold for added profit. . .”

Excellent! Once again, the profit motive provides for our needs!

But the North Dakota rule is still too lax, and instead of toughening it, the new federal rules focus on strengthening the tankers that carry the oil.

Of course they do, because that'll be more work for union Democrat steelworkers.
