"BAKERSFIELD, Calif. -- Mile-long trains filled with millions of gallons of flammable crude oil may be rolling through Kern County next year.
The county Board of Supervisors voted 5-0 Tuesday to approve a plan by Texas-owned Alon USA Energy to send two 100-car trains a day to its refinery in Bakersfield in the southern San Joaquin Valley.
Environmentalists opposed the project, voicing concerns about a potential spill of the volatile crude, and indicated they may sue."
