It makes for awkward conversation when you’re driving around with your girlfriend or, worse yet, your mom and you have to explain to them why these hordes of random women are throwing their panties at your car. “It’s just the Yaris, babe. I swear I don’t know these women.” 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingofsurrey Posted December 31, 2018 Author Share Posted December 31, 2018 interesting..... CN Rail planning pilot plant to create oilsands bitumen pucks that are easy to ship and float in water. CALGARY — Canadian National Railway Co. says it is planning to build a pilot plant worth up to $50 million next year to create pucks made of oilsands bitumen to transport by rail and ships to customers around the world. https://edmontonjournal.com/transportation/rail/cn-rail-lining-up-pilot-plant-partners-to-make-oilsands-bitumen-pucks/wcm/beb31ad3-1364-4c27-b4dc-bad74ce75434 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyBoy44 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 They want to be able to make a whopping 50,000 barrels per day? What's supposed to happen to the other 1mil plus that is produced per day? I like this idea and it's been fun to watch, but it is not going to end up being worth it. It will cost too much to amount made and won't go very far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will cost too much to amount made and won't go very far. And again has to be shipped by rail which is terrible for CO2 emmisions. Compared to pipelines that have next to no green house gas effect in transferring the oil. I find it very strange that so many pro environment posters are championing this idea. It just goes to show how they are so bought in to the idea that pipelines are evil, that there willing to get behind something thats worse for climate change. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah,... maybe you are missing the point that this product will float in case of a spill......

Ah maybe your missing the point that shipping by rail is really bad for CO2 emissions. You know the cause for global warming. Great, this product has potential to help in the “unlikely” event of an oil spill, while greatly increasing the amount of green house gasses......Slow clap...do you really know what you stand for anymore? Tell me. What happens to marine life when the glaciers melt, sea levels rise and water temperature heat up? Glad you ok with increasing climate change damage, but hey as long we don’t use pipelines right? Like i said before. I find it strange that anyone who considers them self pro environment could be for this. This is the perfect example on how American money has got you so brainwashed thinking pipelines are evil, you don’t even realize that the alternative you are suggesting is far worse for global environment. If people truly cared about the environment they would be pushing pipelines ASAP. It’s not even comparable how much better pipelines are for mid stream emissions. We should also be encouraging Canada (a environmental regulated country) to increase production so that others can become less dependent on oil from un-regulated countries. We need to be proud of our country and proud of our oil. You never hear praise about projects like shell quest. You just hear biased negative spins that has our own Canadians turning on our selfs. It’s down right embarrassing. Edited December 31, 2018 by ForsbergTheGreat 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a simple exercise for you - in matters of science, unless you possess high level education or professional expertise, do not form strong opinions on the topic. Not that hard to do, right ? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So sorry but i am a no for your Bitumen Pipeline terminal expansion in my backyard.... Increased Pipeline capacity is all risk and no reward for the people of BC.

I think the point of it is.... most people realize that the majority of posters here supporting the potential destruction of Vancouvers harbour...... are the same people that profit from their over paid jobs in the patch. Many of us do not profit from big oil and so we have a much more well rounded opinion of the benefits and costs of any expanded terminal / tanker traffic in Vancouver harbour.

Never thought I would hear you say that. All Canadians need to make more money, I thought you and I agreed on that. As someone who has spent my whole adult life in the industry, I don't think we are overpaid.

Perhaps you need to slow down or stop typing from the cab of your F 350 . The point is pretty well stated. If you are a science illiterate, don't take strong stances over what is more eco-friendly and what isn't. I have an engineering degree, been in the field of science for 20+ years and its very rare i will have a strong opinion on whether option A is more eco-friendly than option B. So that should give you a barometer on how nonsensical your opinion is on the topic. How does it not bother you to say option A over option B, when you can't even do basic calculus ? Heck, even if i plugged the data into a linear matrix system and tried to solve, the results will be all over the place. A fool only knows what he knows and pretends to know more. A wise person knows what he know but knows very well what he does not know. Be a wise person, not a fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop driving your car before you make hypocritical statements. And if dirty bitumen is coming out of the ground anyways, its better to put it inside a pipeline than on a rail-cart. In every which way - safety, ecological footprint and reliability. If you cannot see this, you are 100% disqualified from talking about crap you don't even understand the basics of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
