Short Talk: The Ethical Transportation of Oil and Gas
Graham Stock, a chapter member with a Petroleum Engineering Degree, delivered a short talk on the “Ethical Transportation of Oil and Gas”. Graham opposes Line 3 and strongly supports moving off of fossil fuels as fast as possible, but argues that, for logistical reasons, it will take decades to accomplish, and that we shouldn’t be against replacing all pipelines. He also described ways to reduce the risk of accidents and spills.
