If they cared about climate change they would allow transport by train. Much cleaner than transport by truck.

I don’t think anyone wants an lng bomb rolling through their town. I can’t imagine this is even an efficient/ feasible way to move Nat gas.

What percent is transported by rail?

I've always assumed that the vast, vast majority is moved by pipeline.
It is. But Leftists understand leverage and play the long game. They can ban it now and the usual "modeatees" will say "no big deal, only a small percentage is transported by rail". and everyone goes on with their day. Classic incrementalism.

Then they ban pipelines (as they're been trying for years). And guess what... the most logical alternative is already banned. If you tried to ban rail transport after the pipeline shortages... people would fight it.

But republican "moderates" are way too stupid to see the trap that's been laid. Just like they were for the Leftist take over of education, federal law enforcement, and everything else the Left controls. It was all obvious, except for the "this isn't a big deal" crowd.

LNG is not flammable. In a gaseous state, natural gas is flammable. In a liquid state, it is not flammable.

Given that open Border, I can't disagree with this. They can bring in RPGs by the truckload.

Seemingly closing the border is more important than banning rail traffic for Americans. But we aren't trying to ruin America, so... maybe we just don't get it.

Does it matter? If it's so small, why the move to ban it?

Thanks for proving my point about enabling, tho. Very effective.

A bad idea isn’t good bc the other side points out that it’s bad. Aside from the danger it’s just inefficient.

I wonder how Warren Buffett benefits still in some way from this.


He sold some of his railroads for a pipeline company.

That is how he profited off the Keystone Pipeline cancellation since he had some rail lines that would benefit by expanded rail for oil cargo from the oil sands of Canada.

You mean when it boils off and turns back into a gas? Then it becomes flammable, obviously. The article said LNG is flammable, which is a false statement

Buffett, actually Berkshire Hathaway, owns one railroad and has only owned one railroad.

BNSF

Still owns it.
