Oil Pipeline Constructed Through Arkansas

The video discusses a 550-mile pipeline project designed to alleviate fuel oil shortages along the Atlantic seaboard. The pipeline, extending from Longview, TX to Salem, IL, has a capacity of 700,000 barrels daily and features paper insulation. It can transport fuel, oil, or gasoline. While Washington considers rationing plans, the pipeline progresses at nearly 3/4 of a mile daily. Eleven oil companies are involved in the $25 million project, which aims to maintain fuel supply in the east.
