Oil companies who are fearful of incurring public outrage due to pipeline spills are only too happy to hand tanker cars over to the care of railway workers.  When statistically inevitable accidents happen the oil producers can escape the blame!&lt;p&gt;The Lac-Mégantic disaster shows why we should be building more pipelines.  Pipelines spill less per unit of volume shipped and usually avoid populated centers to a much greater degree than railways. They&amp;#x27;re better for the environment and safer for humans. Fossil fuels can be nasty stuff, but we currently still need them and we require the ability to move them around safely. The next time you see environmentalists protesting pipeline construction, ask them why they&amp;#x27;re not chaining themselves to their local railway tracks instead. We should do our best to avoid rolling bomb&amp;#x27;s through beautiful towns like Lac-Mégantic on a daily basis.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>The last moments of Lac-Mégantic</title><url>http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/lac-megantic-musi-cafe/article15656116/</url></story>
