RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:What price ? Who the heck buids a pipeline that crosses TWO mountain ranges and has to cross 700 creeks and rivers????
Obviousely you never read up on the route. and know little about Northern BC. The Route follows valley bottoms between the mountains NOT over them there are various routes even roads could be constructed between BC and Alberta. The Northern half of BC is Basically flat rolling country just like Northern Alberta.
The N/G line after crossing Hwy 97 North of PG cut accross country toward Burns lake then near directly toward Kitimat. Just prior to its destination the Hoult tunnel was to pass through a small mountain. (By BC standards nothing more than a big hill)
All creeks and rivers were not going to be crossed. But rather the pipe would have been put through a tunnel whipstocked under them presenting no environmental hazzard. Private money Enbridge was going to pay for it not the people. After studies Enbridge stated it would be in the long run the lowest cost pipeline built to access offshore markest in Canada. And far more safer than Rail or Truck 12 to 25 times respectively. And Another private enterprize offered to build a refinery to process the crude before shipping.
Once built Canadian oil on the world market would receive up to $17 per Bbl more than the US pays for it. Residual downline taxes on the additional $17 would go a long way in supporting the Canadian lifestyle without having to increase the general public income and consumables tax and levys.
Now that the Liberals are back in supported by the NDP, Bloc and Greens. Carbon tax is still on track to be increased on gas working famillys use. Already at 5 cents is said to increase annually to 50 cents. Then they will re think if it should be increased further. This Left Wing Tax & Spend attitude is so Wonderfull ! Especially for lower income people.
The Farce of Climate Change.
It used to be called Global warming. But now scientists are showing the earth warmed faster four previous times in history. And we may now be rolling over, entering into a cooling cycle.
So instead of Global Warming, It has been renamed Climate Change, That way no matter what the weather does they can still " SPIN and TAX it "
