overthere Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 On 25/01/2017 at 7:56 AM, ?Impact said: That might make the most sense, because after the recent pipeline approvals from Trudeau and now Keystone XL from Trump that makes an additional 1.8 million barrels/day capacity out of Alberta. I see the business case for EnergyEast drying up, so TCPL will not need the pipe. The business case, economics, environmental issues of Energy East are all irrelevant. It is no coincidence that this major, critical export project to a waiting market in Europe just went poof when two guys in plaid shirts started shouting at a hearing in Montreal. Since then, the government has failed to even establish a new review process, one that will no doubt be far more onerous than the one it replaces- already by far the longest in the world. Coderre wins, he gets to keep his Montreal refineries- now processing oil from the US. Our history for the last few and next several years could be authored by Kafka. Our country has become unable to recognize what is to our benefit, much less act on it. The US has no such constraints.

Only one BC pipeline 'approved'- Kinder Morgan with 157 conditions-- and I would place the odds on it being built at maybe 25%. The other project was Northern Gateway, which had been previously reviewed exhaustively and approved by the NEB and the Government. It was specifically cancelled by Trudeau. If all goes to Trudeaus plan, we will end up with no tidewater pipelines at all. Note too that the Kinder Morgan board has yet to vote or decide on the project.....two months after the Trudeau 'approval'. The line that was approved by Trudeau was Line 3, which is basically a maintenance upgrade of yet another Canada- US pipeline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind I've been a fairly steady, albeit intermittent poster since 2006. And my area newspapers carry quite a bit of Canadian news. no.
