Canada Seeks Alternatives to Transport Oil Reserves

NY Times -- As the United States continues to play political Ping-Pong with the fate of the Keystone XL pipeline, Canadian officials and companies are desperately seeking alternatives to get the country’s nearly 200 billion barrels in oil reserves — almost equal to that of Saudi Arabia — to market from landlocked Alberta.

Oil companies complain that they are losing revenues from pipeline bottlenecks. So Canada is plunging ahead with plans to build more pipelines of its own.

To hasten development of new export routes, the Conservative government is streamlining permit processes by accelerating scheduled hearings and limiting public comment. The government has also threatened to revoke the charitable status of environmental groups that are challenging the projects. And Public Safety Canada, ...

tomok Champion Author Portland Posts:33,028 Points:2,346,485 Joined:Aug 2006	Message Posted: Jun 15, 2012 4:24:00 AM Ignore tomok Report Abuse The US plays political ping pong with the Keystone XL pipeline. To hasten development of new export routes, the government is streamlining permit processes by accelerating hearings and limiting public comment. The government has also threatened to revoke charitable status of environmental groups that are challenging the projects. The Canadian government will do anything to get the crude oil to market and their own citizens will not stand in their way! Canada can build oil and fuel pipelines to either coast and export all they want. Stop TransCanada by enforcing eminent domain for their gain in the US, Private property is Private Property! Canada will sell their oil and natural gas to the world, with or without the help of 'coming out of the closet' Barry or the US government. With the huge number of pipelines crossing the US, one more will not matter that much. Tie into existing pipelines whenever possible to reduce material, transportation and labor costs. Avoid sensitive, geological, natural or scenic areas AND surface and ground water aquifer regions. Big oil continues to sell fuel and natural gas on the world market for higher prices, there will be NO price reduction for the cost of fuel or natural gas IN the US. 'Coming out of the closet' Barry will support natural gas and oil production for sale on the world market to pay for his ‘spending gone wild’ addiction and receive the huge federal tax income on oil. The US oil and natural gas resources belong to the citizens of this country and are to be used by those same citizens! Speculators, manipulators and the banks continue to unfairly and unjustly make the driving public pay higher prices at the pump for their benefit. Whatever the size or shape of the vehicle, Produce and ‘Drive’ vehicles with high MPG, are very safe and reliable, have a ‘reasonable’ cost and a good ‘value’ for the money. Consider using other forms of less expensive transportation to lower your cost, if possible. The price of fuel at the pump is too high! 12/22/2012!
