Where does anyone get the idea a pipeline cutting through the heartland of the USA reduces CO2 emissions?

Ethanol can be produced from corn. If the crop lands are destroyed there is no corn. 

Questions?

To begin, the growth of any agricultural commodity for harvest happens annually and uses CO2 and sequesters it actually. That fact and those calculations were also conveniently missing from the assessment.

It is a question of national security.

At the US Department of Agriculture (click here) headquarters building in Washington, DC, on January 30, representatives of the USDA and Navy provided an overview of the newly announced Farm-to-Fleet program which will provide a format for making biofuel blends part of regular, operational fuel purchase and use by the military.

Is Canada going to be the only nation in North America producing ethanol? Well, isn't that convenient. The USA gets all the Canadian Tar Sands garbage and then will be purchasing Canadian ethanol when the USA crop production falls with construction and spills from the garbage pipeline.

...Usage of biodiesel fuel in railway (click here) was first seen in British Train Operating Company Virgin Trains, which was transformed to run on 80% petrodiesel and only 20% biodiesel. Some successful applications of biodiesel fuel were seen in the Royal Train in 2007 completed on its first ever journey run on 100% biodiesel fuel, eEver since the Royal Train has successfully run on B100. Another example of biodiesel fuel usage was seen on a short-line railroad in Eastern Washington which ran a test of a 25% biodiesel / 75% petrodiesel in 2008. Disneyland too began operating its park trains on B98 biodiesel blends....

CHICAGO–Amtrak found the use of a renewable biodiesel fuel blend to power the daily Amtrak Heartland Flyer train resulted in no more wear on the locomotive than traditional diesel fuels and no reduction in performance or reliability....
