mark in utah - RE: closed loop coal pipeline. We can assume that the cost of building a mile of closed loop coal pipeline is twice that of a mile of one way coal pipeline. The question then is does that doubling of cost for the coal pipeline approach or even exceed the cost of a mile of new rail line? Does 100 miles of a closed loop coal pipeline (including the pipeline to railcar transfer facility) exceed the cost of 100 miles of new track? <br /> <br />Paul - Words of wisdom, duly noted. <br /> <br />goat - Most energy analyst expect coal to remain a viable energy source for the foreseeable future. Any infrastructure project that aids in getting coal from the mine to the power plant or liquification plant will probably be money well spent, regardless of mode. <br /> <br />JOdom - I would say that Mr. H exihibits the same bent toward ideological indoctrinization for which you accuse me in your sophomoric way. Of course, it's an ideology that has become status quo for the rail industry, so his offerings are really nothing new. If Mr. H. has ever had an original idea, show me the evidence.
