mrbb "if the keystone and gateway projects get delayed or even shelfed, the mid tier pipeline guys like PPL and IPL will do even better. Anyone please correct me if i'm wrong on this"
====================================================
Well yes, you are dead wrong, as PPL feeds export pipelines, and all parts of the industry need more export capacity. But no big worry, as Keystone XL will be built. Not so sure about Gateway, but the fed government wants it.
The main thing to consider is that the addition of PVE will add to PPL's bottom line and provide billions in expansion projects. This opportunity to add to one's holdings will not last, and I have added last week.
