I lost all respect for Buffet when he bought the railroad that moves oil out of the Bakken knowing the damage it would do to our environment and economy. Natural gas can not be transported above ground profitably due to the low temps it needs so the gov accommodated the oil producers by allowing them to simply flare off all the nat gas that got in their way.


All the while crippling the coal industry to raise electric prices under the farce of environmental improvements.
Between the oil spills from this rail road , river shipping and the flaring off the environmental destruction has been enormous.
Economically the pay offs to Washington to keep out the Keystone pipeline or our own pipeline to keep Buffets railroad profits coming in has stagnated our economy and kept us dependent on foreign oil. The damage has only just began. Look at what is going on in Ukraine. If we had started the program LNG wanted to we would have been exporting NG to Europe 3 years ago and Europe wouldn't be in a position of foregoing Washington's bribes and being forced to accept whatever Russia says now. They know if the furnaces go out that the people will rise up and demand their officials team up with Russia instead of freezing to death.
We have been sold out by our representative government and it isn't just republicans or democrats. The Bush/Obama regimes have been the most destructive in our history.
Call it right wing gloom and doom if you like but the facts don't change.
