carlfense Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Regarding safely: Nothing is really 100% safe and environmentally friendly in this industry. But it has improved greatly from decades ago due to modern drilling technology and laws/regulations that guide industry on what is environmentally acceptable for drilling, transportation, and restoration. Of course accidents will happen - thus the debate on oil transportation via trains vs pipelines. I can think of a reasonably safe place for that oil. OK, I'll take your bait --- tell us - Right where it was for millions of years . . . . in the ground. Link to comment
