Pipelines moving tar sands oil in Midwestern states spilled three times more per mile than the U.S. national average for pipelines carrying conventional crude. Since it first went into operation in 2010, TC Energy’s original Keystone Pipeline System has leaked more than a dozen times; one incident in North Dakota sent a 60-foot, 21,000-gallon geyser of tar sands oil spewing into the air. Less than two years before the project was finally pulled, the Keystone tar sands pipeline was temporarily shut down after a spill in North Dakota of reportedly more than 383,000 gallons in late October 2019.

Is moving that oil by rail a better form of transportation? The realization of the matter is that it does get moved so finding the safest way seems like a good idea.
The overwhelming majority of Americans and Canadians currently rely on gas to power their vehicles. Not addressing the large increase in energy costs, leaders are once again displaying how out of touch they are with the average person. I'm not against electric cars but we're not there in terms of large scale adoption and most people are being affected.
Russia is a problem and the scale of which will be determined over time. If the US in any way needs to become involved militarily god help us all. But they won't be looking towards the development of electric tanks. Increased domestic production will be vital.
