It is the classic "NIMBY". If you were running the pipeline through my yard, or in the watershed that feeds my aquifer, I would prefer it be shipped by truck.
For them it isnt about what is safer overall, but what is less likely to impact them. Same as it would be for you and me. (That is, if its not just about being money-grubbing)
