What are the four best arguments for pipelines?

By pipelines, I am assuming you are referring to oil pipelines. Oil pipelines have a number of benefits:


  • Safer transport: pipelines are the safest transport method for fluids. Other modes of transport such as tankers and ships are more prone to accidents and oil spills.

  • Smaller transport cost: Tankers and ships use fuel for transport; pipelines do not. In the longer run, the transport cost of pipelines is much less than many other modes of transport.

  • Lesser environmental impact: Other modes of transport generate emissions, while pipelines do not. Pipelines have a lower overall environmental impact.

  • More jobs: Constructing a pipeline generates a large number of jobs.

  • Economic benefits: Pipelines add to the economy of the counties they pass through because of tax revenue. 

  • Energy security: Long-distance transport of fuel through pipelines provides fuel to the regions where it is in short supply and ensures long-term energy security.

Hope this helps.
