This looks like a lot of work for a drink. Was it worth it?

Train goes boom? How many barels per car? If keystone is 1 mil/day thats 41666 barels/ hr so is it better to have multi small cleanups or mabey 1 very large and when you figure it has to get around Yellowstone what are the risks?

July 6, 2013 Lac Megantic. Deadliest rail accident since before Canada was a country.

Considering Yellowstone is well overdue for its own boom, without the help of a pipeline, I'd say the chances are about the same.

Train booms happen every day. Oil needs to be piped.

[SASKFARMER3]

I agree oil in a pipe is was safer than oil in cars. It's all about the money.
Buffet and Obama! Enough said.
