It's well worth a read.<br /><br />https://www.desmog.ca/2018/04/13/they-re-not-getting-how-constitution-works-why-trudeau-notley-can-t-steamroll-b-c-kinder-morgan-pipelineThe Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-25168692182379057852018-04-13T12:09:45.640-07:002018-04-13T12:09:45.640-07:00Well, I don't pretend to be an 'expert'...Well, I don't pretend to be an 'expert' on any of these issues. I'm just an old observer waiting to pass the baton on to the younger generation (poor bastards!)<br />IMHO, Kinder Morgan will fade (peacefully, I hope)into the past. There is no doubt in my mind that the economics will support such an ill conceived venture - well one that has turned out to be ill conceived. Renewables will prove them wrong.<br /><br />By the time this venture wends it's way through the court systems the ICE will be history and so will the need for a pipeline.<br /><br />In my unlearned opinion it would make much more sense to neutralize the opposition to KM by:<br />1) Pipeing the stuff east, thereby avoiding the shipping costs to nebulous regions and from our 'friends' in Saudi Arabia. Not only avoiding all the shipping contamination but also increasing our energy self sufficiency - if you believe Fossil Fuels have a future!<br />2) Refining it on site, again if you believe FFs have a future.<br />3) Throwing the Enron bastard is jail.John's Aghastnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-83184537468557892532018-04-13T09:42:05.223-07:002018-04-13T09:42:05.223-07:00cake

This way they could pretend they 'did their best' with AB and still keep their BC voters happy.<br /><br />I still don't think that Trudeau will force the issue. He's not someone to make tough decisions. KM will cancel the pipeline, and Rachel Notley will be thrown under the bus.Bernie Woodnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-36258108792289121052018-04-13T01:22:01.643-07:002018-04-13T01:22:01.643-07:00.. its all become very scary to me..

If Jr. goes bug-fuck out here the whole Sovereignty debate will explode in their autumn election.<br />(Folks across Canada will not be pleased as they witness repression.)<br />I don't think it will happen. <br /><br />His kabuki theatre on Sunday w two 'settler' politicians completely ignores the native issues. <br /><br />I believe KM is going home, there just trying to extract $ on the way out...<br />Jr. is being played and he is royally f**ked (schadenfreude alert!)<br />Northern PoVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04670080478290108536noreply@blogger.com
