Accidents involving trains hauling oil seem to happen with relative regularity, causing environmental damage and hazardous conditions for local populations.

Why? This was a job for Captain Obvious!
@MotherJones Because rail accidents happen frequently and "progressive" idiots won't let us build a pipeline to preserve Warren Buffett's $$

@GPollowitz @instapundit @MotherJones Because the administration won't approve KeystoneXL?

@patrick552 @instapundit @GPollowitz @MotherJones If only someone would develop a pipeline system.

What @redsteeze said. A pipeline or three would prevent this AND do no environmental harm. @flyoverangel @MotherJones
