#EarthDay2023: Invest in Our Planet = Investing in #pipelines as the most environmentally friendly way to deliver energy 

#EarthDay 2023: Invest in Our Planet = Investing in #pipelines to deliver cleaner energy of the future 

#EarthDay 2023: Invest in Our Planet = Investing in #pipelines to deliver captured carbon emissions to permanent storage out of harm’s way 

#Pipelines are the safest way to move energy across the country. https://bit.ly/3EO4LqN

According to the Department of Transportation, #pipelines are the safest way to move liquid energy across the country. https://bit.ly/3EO4LqN

According to a DOT report, moving liquid energy by #pipeline is safer than rail and truck. https://bit.ly/3EO4LqN

According to a DOT report, #pipelines have fewer incidents per barrel of liquid energy moved compared to rail or truck. https://bit.ly/3EO4LqN

According to a DOT report, #pipeline transportation has a lower spill percentage compared to rail or truck.  

Canceling a pipeline actually results in more GHG emissions because that energy ends up delivered on trains or trucks. https://bit.ly/3G3khzK

#Pipelines emit fewer greenhouse gas emissions than other ways to move liquid energy. 

#Pipelines protect the environment because they emit lower GHG emissions than other ways to deliver energy.  

Liquids #pipelines are powered primarily by electric pumps with almost no greenhouse gas emissions of their own.  

The Obama administration found a #pipeline emits 42% less greenhouse gases than transporting the same amount of energy by rail. https://bit.ly/3G8p6b3  

Rejecting a major #pipeline and shipping the same energy by rail increases greenhouse gas emissions by 1.2 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent per year. https://bit.ly/3G3khzK

The Obama administration found a #pipeline has 0.1% of the incidents and 62% fewer barrels released compared to shipping by rail. https://bit.ly/3G3khzK

Rejecting a major #pipeline and shipping the same energy by rail increases the risk of oil release by over 800 times and barrels released by 2.6 times. 

#Pipelines cause fewer incidents and release less of their product into the environment than their main transportation alternative.  

Government review of the #KeystoneXL pipeline found the probability of an incident was 800 times greater by rail than #pipeline.  

#Pipelines can travel a shorter, more direct route, while train deliveries must follow existing rail lines that can result in longer trips.  

Over 13 trains each a mile long with 100 rail cars are needed to carry the same energy delivered by a large #pipeline on a single day.  

Over 4,000 trucks are needed to carry the same energy delivered by a large #pipeline on a single day.  

While #pipelines deliver the energy you need underground and out of the way, trucks and trains mean more neighborhood congestion to deliver the same amount of energy. 

#Pipelines support global climate action in foreign countries by helping to replace their dirtier burning coal and charcoal with cleaner-burning American liquified gas. 

#Pipelines improve the global climate by delivering American-produced liquified gas to ports for international shipment to countries that want to replace dirtier fuel sources. #EarthDay
