Where would the oil be headed?
We aren't sure. Given the characteristics of the oils produced in the Uinta Basin, most refineries could incorporate some amount in the mix they use for feedstock. The proponents of the Uinta Basin Railway generally talk about the oil traveling to the Gulf Coast, but have provided no details about where exactly the oil would be refined and consumed.
Where the oil travels once it has left the Uinta Basin has major health and safety consequences for the communities that it is being transported through and refined in. Without this information, these consequences cannot be adequately understood and accounted for.
