I've always wondered about that theory.
Is the point to move liquid shipments to trucks/ships because it's safer somehow? or simply to make it so difficult to transport liquid fuels that people quit using them?
I suspect that pipeline activism mostly results in the former.
- breakyerself 5y agoConstrained supply or higher cost of transportation = higher prices = incentive to consume less. I'd prefer to see this dynamic produced by carbon taxes so the price difference isn't going back to the fossil fuel companies, but I'll take what I can get. Also installation of new fossil fuel infrastructure like pipelines implies a long term commitment to the status quo or even increased production which I find unacceptable. If the neccessary changes were underway there would be zero demand for new pipelines.
