Trivial FactsDon't usually post on a weekend and if fact haven't posted much over the last couple of years with pumpers and trifler's at every turn, but this board is pretty good overall fueled by BIR's resurgence.
So there is no less Oil and NG going south of the border now nor no more would have gone south with Keystone complete. This not necessarily environmental, this is most likely straight political patronage. Who do you think owns all the trains carrying the current oil & gas south, well it's none other than Warren Buffet choo choo's, fact look it up. Does anyone think he'd have been happy with a pipeline replacing his rail transportation? Me for one thinks not.
And as far as Keystone goes it's not dead, believe it or not, just re-routed and re-prioritized to an extent. I play a little house league hockey with a bit of a mucky muck in the pipe business who's company just happens to be one of the Keystone Project's largest vendors. Pipe orders are all ready being re-routed to turn the pipeline now to the west coast but for a change quietly (Maybe the Gov. finally gets it? Nah lol maybe not). Indian sacred burial grounds, reservervations etc. bah, they'll take the money First Nations has already admitted it if one goes looking for news hard enough.
More important and even more quietly (not withstanding guys like me now lol) this same company has been shipping and laying pipe in the ground from the east coast, west, for some time now for the infrastructure this industry sorely needs. Why does one think that is going, just one or two guesses allowed.
Although I personally have no faith in Trudope and the current federal government, maybe they finally do get it (a bit lol) keep it low profile and out of the headlines, just get it done quietly, build that ifrastructure across the country, so you can ship to the prime paying markets and finally be in a position to tell the yanks where to go and what they can do lol.
We'll see, in the meantime i do hope the pumpers push BIR to the $4 buck range, NG rollover to may is 8 days prior to the end of next month, then shoulder season takes over and BIR slides a bit with it on NG decline.
Then we are back wishing for an exceptionally hot summer to hold then carry BIR's price up.
All IMO, cheers.
