Elephant field in the Gulf

I agree with you. There are certain short haul commuter trains that don't even have an engineer !!! all done by computers. Certainly we could develop better rail lines in the cities. Phoenix is developing a light train line around the city ....so is Denver. Expensive investment in the beginning but environmentally friendly and very convenient for commuters.

Unfortunately, Denver voted down the idea of a rail line up into the mountains.
I guess that was just too much $. Every weekend, I-70 is like a parking lot with traffic.
But they have indeed put in light-rail which has been wonderful both downtown and in the outskirts of the city.
You are right, it would be an expensive investment in the beginning, but the payoff could be win-win.

This oil field is over 5 MILES below sea level and my not be economical to develop until oil is over $100/barrel. Probably not until sometime next year. :shock: Even then it will be at least 5-7 years before we see significant production.
