    I mean they could

    A barrel is 42 gallons.

    A 4 trailer road train can carry up to 32,000 gallons.

    Oil tanker can be 70,000 barrels plus.

    Which is let's say 3 million gallons.

    So it would take a single road train about 94 trips or 94 road trains 1 trip.

    So they just need a road that may or may not exist and a couple thousand trucks and about 4 times as many trailers.

    The problem is you're going through 2, potentially 3 countries there.

    The crisis of faith looks pretty close to where the 3 might meet even.

    Well, realising you're actually just going to sit in the dark transcends countries.

    (More credibly, I'm guessing sending several thousand trucks through a random patch of the Middle East would not be cheap, regardless of borders)

    There's actually already a pipeline at the exit point.

    This looks like a job for.... The Chignecto Marine Transport Railway!

  • I have never heard of this before and rather than Google it I'm going to decide that if you put 5-10 parallel rail lines to spread the weight you can actually put a whole oil tanker on rollers to drive it across the desert to the other side of the continent.

    10/10 no notes

  • The meditating statue looks heavy (if it's to scale) – what is it gonna cost to move it that distance?
