A proposed 85-mile rail line would allow drilling operations in the Uinta Basin to expand and ship waxy crude oil to refineries in Texas and Louisiana. The line would run through Colorado, likely alongside Interstate 70 and the Colorado River.spilled mountains of coal over I-25, collapsed a bridge, and killed a truck driver. This was tragic, but it could have been much worse.
While Mr. Murray reveres the Colorado mountains from which his people were moved long ago, he dismisses the threats to those same mountains which these oil trains pose — both the threat that inevitable derailments could ignite wildfires in Colorado’s inaccessible timbered canyons or spill crude oil into the Colorado River, and the certainty that burning these fossil fuels will worsen Colorado’s climate.
The Uinta Basin already violates the EPA’s ozone standards, due mostly to oil and gas activity on reservation lands. If, as expected, building the railway quadruples that activity, it would increase ozone levels as well. Much of that extra ozone would drift downwind over Colorado’s Front Range, harming the health of its residents as well.
