They may be on separate lines in ND, but consolidation after the BN merger makes for congestion around cities, where expanding capacity is most expensive. That is where BNSF encountered the most difficulties last year. BNSF clearly stated that the delays to intermodal, auto, and passenger traffic last winter were attributable to increased oil traffic, including frack sand, so I'm not sure why you don't believe them.I'm also not sure what it is you do not understand about basic economics. How is it you think any American company will be able to sell oil at a rate above the world price? We don't have your left wing oil tariff, nor are we likely to enact one. We also do not have your communist command economy, so we can't declare the value of goods independently of the market value. So how exactly are we going to import oil and profit on it? And since when do we need jobs in North Dakota? We need lower energy prices more than we need jobs where nobody lives. Lower energy prices will do more to improve the economies of places that actually have people living in them and create jobs where people live. |
