As opposed to railroads that occasionally take out towns.

Pipelines are the safest way to move oil of any type. Really when you consider
the amount of oil moved around the world every day the amount of leaks are
minor. Its like airline crashes, when they happen they're big but they don't
happen often.

Pipelines are GREAT until they leak/ignite.

I see the protestors almost every week in Keene. I'm not sure if they're Mao's
buddies or what.
A couple years ago the price of natural gas (and thus electricity) here spiked
because theres only one pipeline that feeds all of New England and we had a
really cold winter with the "polar vortex". Didn't bother us much, we don't use
a lot of electrons and heat with oil and wood but some people got pinched.
My neighbor is against any pipelines, says he's not worried about rising prices
because he doesn't use many electrons either. I don't think he's thought
through what will happen if his employer moves somewhere that energy is
cheaper...

Those were the product of Jimmuh Cahtah and his Moral Equivalent of War
(MEOW) about the A-rabs screwing us on oil.
An interesting dimension of that whole deal back then I got from a
friend I had gone to school with along in there, who worked for GATX
Corp. which basically owned all the rail tankers and storage facilities
for oil, gasoline, etc. He told me that every tanker they owned at the
time was parked on railroad sidings hold oil etc. while there were
"shortages" and prices were spiking. There was not one drop of capacity
anywhere to ship anything, which was causing lots of other issues, and
there was no capacity to store any more product. But their inventory of
tankers etc. was completely booked which was good for their profits.
Magically the "shortage" ended with high prices, and everyone was making
big money. Thanks, Jimmuh! BTW I think Warren Buffett is in that
business now... which makes one wonder why certain pipelines were delayed...

Winston Churchill:
“Never give in--never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or
petty,
never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense.
Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the
enemy.”
