Given this, what are the ecological oppositions to things like keystone XL?
I've also wondered if it is feasible for renewable sources like offshore windfarms and very remote nuke powerplants to charge continually flowing battery trains to populated areas.
- dundarious 5y agoKeystone XL is totally irrelevant wrt shipping (as in, ships on the water). Keystone XL goes from Alberta to Kansas, and is just a shorter route than an existing pipeline connecting those two points. Rail is another common transport for oil between these points. Regardless, the article comes to a better conclusion, IMO: > Because it means that if and when we make the transition to solar power and windpower, we will not just stop pouring carbon into the atmosphere, and not just save money—we will also reduce the number of ships sailing back and forth by almost half.
