700 barrels traveling 1 mile on land?
With Keystone coming up I'm still confused why people can't seem to comprehend the difference!
Obviously most people on this forum weren't around on March 24,1989 or I would think they would readily
admit 700 barrels traveling one mile in the Keystone pipeline would be better then the Chinese sending one tanker holding 1m barrels a day through the upper Pacific Ocean.
The oil will be shipped. Which though would have the lesser damage? Which would have fewer chances of having a problem to cause the damage?
I've proven time and again pipelines of which CARRY nearly 80% of all Crude oil and petroleum products.. nearly 4 times carried by pipeline versus tankers..
Issue Brief 23 | Pipelines Are Safest For Transportation Of Oil And Gas
America depends on a network of more than 185,000 miles of liquid petroleum pipelines, nearly 320,000 miles of gas transmission pipelines, and more than 2 million miles of gas distribution pipelines to safely and efficiently move energy and raw materials to fuel our nation's economic engine.

So again folks which would be safer and do less damage:
1m barrels traveling one mile on the open ocean or
700 barrels traveling one mile on land in a pipeline?
