Falsehood flies, and truth comes limping after it, so that when men come to be undeceived, it is too late; the jest is over, and the tale hath had its effect: like a man, who hath thought of a good repartee when the discourse is changed, or the company parted; or like a physician, who hath found out an infallible medicine, after the patient is dead.

1 million gallons, and they are much safer than trains. But whatever.

What is your point? Are you saying that trains carrying crude are even close to pipelines in safety? BNSF, I guess.

Point is that oil disasters are frequent, regardless.***

Disasters....from your link


Feb 18, 2015, 11:44 AM [ in reply to And pipeline disasters almost never happen. ]

A Colonial Pipeline Co. line failed near Greensboro, North Carolina on May 19. At least 714 gallons (17 barrels) of kerosene spilled, some of which entered a pond that flows into a tributary of the East Fork Deep River. The kerosene spill caused a sheen about 40 feet by 40 feet in the pond.

So you are saying that the train companies arent in bed with politicians? Thats good right there. Really good. Norfolk Southern is in the pocket of every legislator on the east coast.

pfttt, who else going to burn a million gallons of diesel getting a million pounds of coal down to the power plant?

No, I didn't say anything about that.


Feb 18, 2015, 12:05 PM [ in reply to Re: And?*** ]

Perhaps you meant to reply to someone else.

Not really much of a "disaster" do you think?


Feb 18, 2015, 1:12 PM [ in reply to And?*** ]

That much kerosene would evaporate off on a hot summer day.

Re: Not really much of a "disaster" do you think?


Feb 18, 2015, 1:29 PM

True. It's not nearly as big a disaster as many of the other accidents on that list.
