To operate pipe-lines required franchises from the states in which they were located--and consequently corporations in those states--just as railroads running through different states are forced to operate under separate state charters. To perfect the pipe-line system of transportation required many millions of capital. The entire oil business is dependent upon the pipe-line. Without it every well would be less valuable and every market at home and abroad would be more difficult to serve or retain, because of the additional cost to the consumer. The expansion of the whole industry would have been retarded without this method of transportation.

白话

洛克菲勒解释,铺管道需要各州特许,所以得在那些州设公司,就像铁路跨州要分别拿牌照。建管道系统要砸几百万美元。整个石油业都靠管道:没有它,每口井都不值钱,国内外市场也更难服务或保住,因为成本会转嫁给消费者。没有这种运输方式,整个行业扩张都会被拖慢。核心是基础设施决定行业上限。想做大生意,先得解决运输、能源、通信这些底层问题,而且必须合规、舍得投钱。

上下文

洛克菲勒在回忆录中说明管道运输对石油业的关键作用,以及跨州经营的法律要求。
