As we address Climate Change, storing LPG, & Fracking in NYS, are we missing the big fossil-fuel picture? Crude oil transporting? Already, Albany nears major oil-hub status and for those concerned about possible derailment of tank cars carrying crude oil, this observation by Harper’s Magazine might prove interesting: “Number of tank cars of crude oil transported by U.S. railways in 2008 : 9,500 In 2013 : 400,000”. harpers.org/archive/2014/09/harpers-index-366/ Admits all the concerns about lowering greenhouse gases to address and mitigate Climate Change, it seems that efforts to stopping drilling and pipelining fossil fuels are all being undermined by shipping crude by rail—that, except for its possible ‘volatility’, goes unseen. Is NYS saying No! to fossil fuels, while transporting it all over the world? What is the big picture of New York State and fossil fuels and Climate Change? And why is the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) telling the Mayor of Albany not to worry her pretty little head over the dramatic surge in oil shipments at Port of Albany?
