The railroad has been built for 100 years and there are several routes from Canada to Texas for them to choose from. The loading and unloading stations are already built. The only thing they will have to do is build more tank cars. I don't see how you can consider tank cars infrastructure, but what ever. You also said we weren't and couldn't ship the oil, but we have been doing that for months now. Then it was we couldn't handle the amount they want to ship, but from that article you posted it proves the railroad industry will ship what ever their customers bring to them. Then it was it cost $10 a barrel to ship it by rail, but the article says $3 and even thats on the high side. The railroad gives large volume shippers pretty big discounts on rates and even bigger discounts if they are shipping entire trains.
But your ace in the hole arguement is the union handout. That's the funniest because I've never gotten one in my life. Maybe your old union use to pass them out, but mine doesn't. So please tell me what's in a union handout. I'd love to know.
To be totally honest with you this entire argument is useless and just pissing in the wind. No matter what happens gas isn't going to get any cheaper. Sure people will blame it on this or that and they could have the pipe line and the railroad and then the argument would be they don't have the capacity to refine it. So it still stays sky high. I've come to grips with $4 a gallon gas and I won't lose any sleep over it or cry about the extra $30 a week it cost me and my wife to fill up. If gas and taxes keep going up it will just make more sense for us to become a one income house hold.
