Posted by WillD on Sun Dec 21 02:26:30 2014, in response to Re: Frack sand traffic, posted by Broadway Lion on Sat Dec 20 07:42:14 2014. yes oil affects traffic on both lines, but the southern line does not see any inter-modal in any event. BNSF runs its faster trains on the GN track, its slower trains on the NP track.Swing and a miss. Now with so much oil on the GN, that will slow that line down too. Except oil traffic will decline. Cheap energy must come from somewhere, and that somewhere happens to be North Dakota. Except bakken crude is not cheap. In addition to oil, we also have wind. Which can't be transmitted anywhere useful. We have some of the largest wind farms in the country, Which are noteworthy for achieving a utilization at nameplate capacity of just 5%. That's low even for wind power. That too is changing. But again the limiting factor is not money. No, it's money. 500kV lines cost money. Unless you guys are running to the Feds to fund those needs as well. If we need lower energy prices, why is Obama against every form of energy. And as we see now cheap energy does not come from the wellhead. You're barking up the wrong tree. He ran on an anti-coal Why would anyone be pro-coal? and anti-oil platform Which was validated by the Deepwater Horizon disaster. he still disallows exploration in federally controlled areas. Because again, cheap energy does not come from drilling. We can see that now with the Bakken crude. He is against pipelines, Sure, because you want to make it easier to get Canadian oil off the continent to China and ensure that whatever savings in transportation we get evaporates. he has stated over and over that the price of fuels needed to go up. The price of the fuel shouldn't reflect the severe environmental damage created in getting that fuel? Cheep energy, like cheep fuels comes at a price. Huh? There are words there, but they make absolutely no sense. North Dakota can provide fuels and food if you have the money to buy them from us. That's definitely not true. Otherwise the Saudis wouldn't be pushing our shale oil sector out of the market. |
