Line 5 integrity and Motley Fool
First Motley Fool. Known to hire young inexperienced hacks. To do a proper assessment of ENB they would have to do a risk based supply demand assessment. I could do it with a team of a dozen or so experts working for three months. Would cost several hundred thousand dollars. So take the fools article with a grain of salt. A lot of these articles are meant to move stocks for short term gain. Vis a vis line 5 I guess we have to take whitmers word that they exceeded the bend radius. But 20 to 25 occurrences, really? In reading the easement agreement I see only three azimuth headings. The 2,050 foot radius is very slight and wouldn't require a bending machine I believe. So one possibility is the ship missed the curvature. Interesting to see by how much. You all should know that steel pipe is actually like spaghetti and must be handled gently. The most positive thing in ENB favour is that the PHMSA issued a report after the anchor was struck that the pipe was fully serviceable with no loss of thickness. I think once the true facts of the bend come out combined with proposed tunnel project and the PHMSA report come out the state will have a tough time in court. Green good oil bad hopefully will not carry the day. Btw the pipe is one inch thick
