500 tons or 500 thousand tons. By rail or road. It does not matter. What comes out will go in by the same method
No, it will not. It went out by railroad to specific destinations that took a hundred years to connect and less to destroy. The way it came out does not exist anymore. It will go over the road by truck.

55 feet or less. Container ship today. Natural gas ship tomorrow. That is the point. Super tankers for imported energy (for more SUVs) means that channel must be dredged deeper.
Jesus Fucking Christ give me a break. Read my fucking lips. CONTAINER SHIPS!!!. As usual you brush off reality, insert wild speculation about what might happen to set up a scenario to rant about some bullshit you tapped from the Economist and mainlined into vein like a desperate junkie.
If SUV's bother you so much go some place where they aren't. I don't have one because I never found I needed one but if you keep it up I might buy 2 and drive one while the other idles in the driveway all day.

Where is all that gasoline and natural gas to come from? The world's third and first largest producer of both must also import that stuff. Which is why the Delaware River must be deepened and why that 'rumored to be' toxic stuff must go somewhere.
Wrong. The Delaware valley is a lattice of pipeline with more than enough capacity to handle our needs, present and future. The river muck has been tested six ways to Sunday by every agency and enviromentalist group in the country. It's an alphabet soup of organic compounds that have been proven to be unhealthy and subsequently banned.

If it means more oil can be imported, guaranteed what the administration's position will be. According to them, we still don't consume enough oil - meaning deeper channels are a defacto reality. Meaning all those dredge tailings must go somewhere.
Strike three, you're out. Dredged channels mean all that Chinese junk and Contra bananas can offload here instead of Baltimore to be trucked here. Now there's an oil connection. Trucking shit from Baltimore.
Yes the sludge, not tailings (tailings come from mines not dredging) must go somewhere but endandering the continually scarcer potable water is not very smart. Put the shit where they always have, New Jersey.
