Makes it difficult when we want stuff but don't want the manufacture, transportation, or distribution of it to occur.


Very true statement. Until people can get away from fossil fuels (which is not happening anytime soon) there needs to be a way to transport it. Nobody wants it in their backyard but everyone wants cheap fuels. Refineries don't really care for the trains but that is the only current viable way to move Bakken crude.
