I don't know if folks enjoy / appreciate all the great posts RBN Energy provides, but I thought this interesting enough to re-post from earlier this morning.
Look at the first graphic at the link. Two short pipelines will connect to major pipelines, changing dynamics immediately. Both pipelines will be completed intrastate (one in Illinois and one in Louisiana) so there should be minimal federal interference (I assume FERC still gets involved). And at least one of the states is "oil-friendly" and I doubt the other state will be as short-sighted as the Nebraskans were.
