Perhaps the government should actually subsidize the pipeline to eliminate those extra sunk costs compared to tankers/trains. It would basically be like paying for carbon capture (except you're actually paying for it to just be transported more safely in the first place).

Why subsidize? Let the producer pay the freight. We want to eliminate this oil source anyway, so if there is anything we should be doing right now it is to more heavily tax oil sources like these which have such significant negative externalities.
