As another oil train is dangling over a railroad bridge in Philadelphia, some wonder whether pipelines or trains are better for transporting oil. The answer from available evidence in the United States seems that the difference is fairly negligible. Including major derailments in Alabama and...

It's possible that oil pipleines are a better way to transport the stuff than trains. But the wages of oil pipelines are severe. Ask the people of Mayflower, Arkansas, which.
At least one Canadian is making sense about the nation's horrifically bad energy and environmental policies: Neil Young kicked off his four-date “Honour the Treaties” tour of Canada on Sunday.
In my forthcoming book on capital mobility, I'm dedicating a chapter to energy production. It details how we can follow Americans' interest in the costs of energy production based upon whether Americans actually see energy being produced. When the Santa Barbara oil spill takes place...
Were one to want to work a job where your life and safety are consistently in danger and where you can live with the constant threat of pollution, one could.

In Carson, California, Shell Oil used to have an oil tank farm. Then, thanks to America's lax environmental regulatory state, a housing development was built on top of it when.
Like the role Ommegang has played in fighting fracking in New York, I am glad to see Bell's Brewery take on the tar sands company Enbridge after an oil spill.

On March 29, an ExxonMobil pipeline carrying oil from Canadian tar sands ruptured in the town of Mayflower, Arkansas, northwest of Little Rock. Between 5000 and 7000 barrels of oil.
