Tankers Carrying Oil Derail in Virginia
North Dakota Oil Train Derailed
Environmentalists object to building the Keystone XL Pipeline. They claim the pipeline would harm the environment. So currently the oil that would be flowing via KXL is being shipped via train. We now have a second derailment of oil tanker train cars causing spills and fires and much damage.
So which is safer? If we continue to pump oil and not build KXL, then more crude oil will be on the railways across America. More people and property will be at risk, in addition to the environment.
When was the last time you heard of an underground oil pipeline accident? Put that in the perspective of two oil trains derailed in less than 4 months.
