Nope.

Shipping by rail is more dangerous than by pipeline. But at the same token, the anti-pipeline people are keeping me employed with monstrous paychecks.

And lining Buffets pockets.

Stop with the "monstrous paychecks" nonsense.

You're not stacking like that. Stop it.

Seriously? Over $5000 net every two weeks? My mortgage is $300 a month, written off. My vehicles classified as farm vehicles, written off. As a senior engineer, I get to pick and choose my assignments. And best of all, I don't pay into SSA.

How else could I afford a PA-31T aircraft?

Rail is also adaptable. If the Keystone pipeline had been built, and we end up using significantly less oil in 20, 40, 50 years, it'll sit there, unused, most of the railway network will still be in use. Sure, some of the spurs to the oil fields will be abandoned, but that's it.

It's so sad when someone tries to impress with wealth on an anonymous forum.

Yes, but very inefficient in moving liquids and gas compared to pipelines. Not even close.

Maybe so, but I don't see any negative impact on me personally.
