To the stack of reports showing pipelines are the safest way to transport liquid fuels over long distances, you can add yet another – this one from the prestigious Fraser Institute.
The latest report, called “Safety in the Transportation of Oil and Gas: Pipelines or Rail?,” shows rail is “over 4.5 times more likely to experience an occurrence when compared to pipelines.”
It’s an important finding. Just don’t be surprised when you hear not a single word from anti-pipeline activists about the growing body of scientific and statistical evidence on pipeline safety.
