The Rising Influence of Rising Affluence

[OakesCS]

From today's WSJ on new rail transport regs:

"The oil industry embraced train transport because it was quicker and easier to build rail infrastructure than it was to lay pipelines. In addition, even though moving oil by trains was more expensive than via pipelines, the industry could ship the crude to wherever prices were highest."

Total bullocks.

If Obama and friends would get out of the way, these "safety" problems would not have come about. I'm amazed that he has managed to avoid any culpability by even the few conservative news organizations. The only reason rail was "quicker and easier" was because Obama got in the way of pipelines.
