Instead of building more transnational pipelines, perhaps a spoke pipeline to existing freight networks.
If those aren't us to snuff (I suspect) we should probably remediate the deferred maintenance and implement all planned upgrades.
- microcolonel 7y agoNot sure rail is a safer way to transport oil.
- 3pt14159 7y agoIt's not. We currently do it in Canada for much of our oil and we spill it with so much frequency that it makes much more sense from an environmental perspective to use a pipeline. I'm still anti-oil, but if the oil has to come out of the ground then pipelines are better. Ideally though more investment in batteries, green tech, and nuclear would be favoured by policymakers than our current situation.
