Oil transport risky but greatly needed
Some people seem to bash the transportation of oil no matter how it happens, yet they will pull up to the pump and gas up their Hummer or SUV. They complain whether it's hauled on trains, boats or through pipeline.
The bottom line is everything we do requires fuel, and the huge fines our government levies on the oil companies is really levied on us the consumer. So vote for oil exploration without transporting it and we have no food, transportation, jobs, lights, etc. As far as risks are concerned there are risks in every thing we do. Just crossing the street is risky.
P.S. I don't work for Big Oil; I just use it to survive
