Mike, "SOO Green" sounds like an attempt by SOO Line Railway to greenwash* the shipment of DRUbit - a "propietary heavy Canadian crude oil specifically designed for rail transportation."

The timing would be appropriate. Construction of DRU, a diluent recovery unit near Hardisty, Alberta that makes DRUbit, was expected to come online in mid-2021, and was intended to "mesh" with less pipeline capacity after the expected cancellation of Keystone XL:

"For crude by rail, we are seeing increased activity as price spreads have become more favorable," said Canadian Pacific Railway Executive Vice President John Brooks.

"Both parties have green infrastructure support systems that could be in a final bill, so I'm not going to sit here and say that I am completely for the Republican plan or opposed to the Biden plan," Kaufmann told CNN.

Do we dare hope that, in the process of developing this project, the result is a giant step forward in both decarbonization and uniting the country?
