Quote from: "RW"Well Trump is big news and rather than butch about my threads, they are welcome to start their own that aren't about Trump but they aren't doing that either.  My latest threads have been about political comedy, the Women's March, recent WH press lies, a question about making change in Islam, a question about accepting political lies, and a new moth.  



Those are more threads than anyone else has started recently.

RW keep posting these Hon. I enjoy reading your accurate posts about the {€>¥% fool.

Quote from: "Twenty Dollars"I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Quote from: "Twenty Dollars"Is it true that one of the pipelines will be used to transport crude across the US to be loaded onto Chinese tankers, and shipped to China? Just keeping my fingers crossed the pipeline won't break. They do do that from time to time.

Why? don't answer that, too early in the morning for circular arguments.

Um no, it's going to heavy oil refineries on the Gulf..



Keystone it already in the ground, it's just the Northern portion from Canada and North Dakota that is being added.

QuoteDespite U.S. President Donald Trump's move to push ahead with the Keystone XL pipeline, there's only a 50-50 chance the scheme will ever be built, an energy consultant says.



Trump signed executive orders Tuesday advancing the Keystone XL and the U.S.-based Dakota Access pipelines, but said the government would "renegotiate some of the terms."



That could include making the project part of wider free trade negotiations, requiring that only American goods and services are used for construction, or a border tax on energy exports, said Paul Michael Wihbey, founding partner of Connect Global Strategies.



As well, Gulf Coast refineries are switching to process light Bakken crude and might not have capacity for the heavy oil Keystone would carry from Alberta, Wihbey told an Alberta Enterprise Group-Edmonton Chamber of Commerce luncheon.



The importance of the 1,900-km pipeline has diminished greatly in the last few years, said Wihbey, also president of Washington, D.C.-based GWEST LLC, a consulting firm specializing in resource geopolitics.



"The Americans are going to ramp up production, they're going to use that refining capacity, they intend to export crude and LNG (liquefied natural gas). The energy landscape has changed entirely," he said.



"Subject to those conditions I mentioned earlier, I would say (the chance of Keystone construction) is probably 50-50."



Wihbey, a senior Liberal party official under former prime minister Pierre Trudeau, had strong words for Canada's unwieldy method of approving pipelines and energy exports, calling it "a Third World system."



"You all are a laughingstock and you permit it ... You and your governmental leaders are the authors of your economic suicide, and that's going to be self-evident when on the American side we start building pipelines from east to west."



With the nationalist Trump administration's plans to reduce restrictions on energy companies, cut taxes and boost American jobs, Canada must overhaul the National Energy Board and harmonize the competing jurisdictions that now have input on projects, he said.



"There has to be fast-tracked authority created to allow for the export of Alberta crude and LNG. Fundamentally, Canada has to make a decision — does it want to export crude from Alberta?"



"I'm not suggesting we're going to go backwards on that, but I am suggesting that we have to look very closely at the types of regulations that we put in place, and which ones actually help us meet our goals and which ones become barriers."

Quote from: "Twenty Dollars"Oh dear. One broke this morning. Thankfully it was up your way. Guess I should have crossed more fingers. Only 53,000 Gallons, on Native American land. The previous one spilled 59,000 gallons in July.

A fifty five year old feeder line ruptured in Saskatchewan near where my son lives this week. About 200,000 litres spilled and about 170,000 cleaned up on the first day. The nearby reserve had vac trucks that were employed in the clean up. The reserve appreciated the work, and the county the improved access roads. If this free infrastructure spending is a disaster, I say bring it on.
