Getting rid of pipelines makes perfect sense in Clown World

The article mentions new items that can be transported by rail:

Despite the inherent risk that comes with transporting chemicals like vinyl chloride, the US Department of Transportation approved a rule to expand the scope of what hazardous materials can be transmitted by rail. The rule made it permissible for liquefied natural gas to be shipped by train without additional safety regulations. This enables freight trains to transport 100 more tank cards with up to 30,000 gallons of the natural gas extracted from shale fields.
The risks of catastrophic liquefied natural gas releases in accidents is too great not to have operational controls in place before large blocks of tank cars and unit trains proliferate,” the National Transportation Safety Board wrote in a comment if support of the proposed rule. In response to that comment, critics of the rule highlighted how a potential explosion of just twenty-two tank cards filled with liquefied natural gas holds the same amount of explosive energy as the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima in the waning days of the Second World War.

No wonder we have to abolish pipelines, we need to have explosives by the hundreds of tons sent by our towns daily!

Over deteriorating rail infrastucture with an increasing proportion of niggers and shitskins in charge of operation and maintenance. Sounds brilliant.

Ironically, Obama tried to upgrade the standards for rail safety. Naturally, the rail companies lobbied and had his efforts neutered, and then Trump removed the neutered rules and rolled back things further. Now we're shipping dangerous chemicals on lesser maintained rails at a lower standard than the mid-2000s. Why is the GOP so fucking stupid?

They are just doing what the dems always do, take bribes and kick the can down the road. Credit to obummer if he did in fact do that.

But the most useful thing would be to get rid of affirmative action which harms quality and safety. Those behaviors are genetic and niggers dont have them.

There's a myriad of chemicals in those tankers. A cocktail that they burned into the atmosphere to spread hundreds of miles out. These fuckers should be hung who authorized the burning
