Unarguable FACTS:
Pipelines vs. trains: Which is better for moving oil?
When a pipeline leaks, more product is spilled, but it's not likely to explode. When a oil car derails, there is a higher chance of loss of life or destruction of property, but the spill is relatively contained.
Pipelines are certainly the cheaper option for shippers, but pipeline capacity has not kept up with North American oil production. The pipeline issue continues to be charged both in Canada and the United States because of concerns around environmental damage, climate change and oilsands development.
