Good Idea. By now surely we can stack it 10 high. Therefore, get all ten of the furnaces at work going to the site donated by chadrcr. Of course our pipeline grows to 300" in diameter. cost blooms to about $6million per mile and the pumping stations are about $100million each.
Now we get to build a structure 10 stories high and 80 acres across. That 52 million square feet. Probably $100/sq ft.
So now we are up to about $10billion investment for 170,000 bbl oil/year. Lets take 25 years to recoup our investment. We've made 4.25 million barrels! Only invested $2,352 per barrel. Not counting operational costs. Makes a lot of sense doesn't it!

blasst;
Can you use your deep thinking and math skills FOR finding ways to accomplish things, or do they only work to come up with EXCUSES not to do something? Sorry to be negative, dont want to take YOUR spotlight.
