Re: Oil export pipelines: Will Canada ever build another?

You shíts and giggles over Alberta's economy tanking is really sad..

Oil isn't the future, you future is alternative energy and what your typing on... Internet, Information.

Nope. Buy silver, the poor man metal.

In Vancouver : Vancouver Bullion & Currency Exchange

In Toronto: Toronto Gold Bullion | Buy Gold, Silver Coins & Bars

Have a spare $225 buy a 10 oz Silver RCM Bar, stick it into a Safety Deposit box and forget about it..

Re: Oil export pipelines: Will Canada ever build another?

My sister is an engineer in your oil patch who has spent her forty year career working on designs for pipeline after pipeline that will never be built: MacKenzie Vally, Foothills, Keystone. There must be thousands of others like her that have worked on same. There is something Keynesian about devoting so much of the country's brain power to Never Never Land projects ... digging holes ... filling them back up.

No?

Why would we?

The following answers your own question.

The merits of using pipelines are clear: they are the safest, most cost-effective and least carbon-intensive method of transporting oil.

Unfortunately, the terminally stupid would rather cut their own throats than admit the above. They'd rather throw all their eggs into the basket of "alternative energy" and then flush themselves and the basket down the toilet.

No I favor sustainability removing our dependence on oil.

and this is in answer to what?

Re: Oil export pipelines: Will Canada ever build another?

To your prior post.

To your prior post.

I didn't ask you a question. As a matter of fact I answered a question that you put up and then gave my opinion of those that oppose building pipelines. At no point did I mention you.

I favor not starting a project with a wrecking ball. Go ahead and favor sustainability, no one is stopping you.

What would you replace it with?

The internet is responsible for 10% of energy consumed. It ain't green or sustainable.

Justin does not support the Energy East Pipeline.

He is too much of a coward to come straight out and say so, so he is hiding behind the NEB Approval process. He says he wants to strengthen it (meaning raise the Bar so it can never be met) and then he says he will let the approval process decide.

What a coward!!

There are already alternatives that exist for fuel and plastic.

 

[petros]

Re: Oil export pipelines: Will Canada ever build another?

Yeah and they require crop lands and still produce emissions when burned.

Now what do you have?

It looks like J.T. may find himself in a bit of a bind after Coderre's comments. He will either have to override Quebec municipalities or alienate the West and New Brunswick. The sheer stupidity of bringing in oil from other countries by tanker as opposed to running it along the safest route, because you want to appear environmentally conscious is mind boggling.

For those of you getting up in arms about how blind Mentalfloss is about this, don't bother. He's not an environmentalist, he is just taking pot shots at the west to get under peoples skin.

It's more than obvious why a pipeline (that is already built) would be beneficial and preferable to bringing oil via waterways, but like Mentalfloss there are some who would cut off their nose to spite their face.

The Prime Minister is going to have to weigh in at some point. If he sides with the Mayor of Montreal he will be opening up a can of political worms that will cause a hell of a lot political headache.

The Conservatives better sort out their leadership.

Please go on...

Bioplastics like shrimp shells and hemp.

Alternative energy we are already familiar with such as solar, wind, etc.


I would say that in about 30 years we will be in a pretty significant state of transition.

Carbon produced.

Good, but ineffective on large scales. That's why you buy power.

I would say that in about 30 years we will be in a pretty significant state of transition.

Transition would be good, but what about the tankers parking in the middle of Lake Ontario hooking up to a pipe that runs on the lake floor to the port of Toronto, because you guys don't want Alberta oil?

This summer there was no shortage of cheers when a tanker full of Newfoundland offshore sourced crude arrived in "the greenest city in the world" dropping the price of gasoline from $1.38L to $1.32.

That is f-cked!

Even Newfoundland is buying Saudi Oil. All of their product is exported to other countries or as you point out, provinces. Irving buys all its oil from other countries.
