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?

@MotherJones It's almost like there should be a big pile, in a line. A pipeline.
