Please, yes, let's continue to unnecessarily endanger the environment so that Obama's buddies Buffett and Gates can get even richer, especially since they bought up all those railways just recently.
Your concern for the environment is noted.
You must be incensed over:
• TransCanada's Keystone I spilling 12 times in its 1st year (they predicted once every 7 years)
• Enbridge's Kalamazoo spill
• ExxonMobile's Mayflower spill
There's big money throughout the deal.
While Gates and Buffett are currently on the winning side of the deal, people from both parties will profit either way.
Difference being that their positions are fully disclosed, something our Congressmen (and women) do not have to reveal.
The STOCK Act is still in effect but NAPA's recommendations rendered it essentially worthless.
Yes, you do seem to enjoy Chris Ingraham's WaPo piece. He does good work.

The spillage rate figures show that rail typically does better than pipe.
In 2012, for instance, railroad operators spilled about 500 barrels of oil for every billion they moved.
Pipeline operators, on the other hand, lost about 2,000 barrels per billion.
Granted, that doesn't matter much when...

The numbers illustrate how volatile these figures can be --
one big spill can completely change the face of an industry's safety record.
And you support Obama's unilateral decision to place the environment at greater risk because it enriches Obama's buddies Buffett and Gates?
You seem to have conveniently skipped parts of that piece.

You feel that you've provided some empirical data but his findings aren't as solid as his title suggests.

Pipeline spills are, on average, larger than railroad spills.

And it's worth pointing out that despite having a bad year in 2013, more than 99.99% of crude delivered by rail made it to its final destination.
There's no dispute that KXL is about more than just rails vs. pipes.
Yes, it's also about Obama further enriching his buddies Buffett and Gates.
