This is:
I guess it'll be quite a while till we hear the howling about "peak gas" (as for "peak oil"...). As for killing the pipeline: They're not doing it because they're conservatives... Mark Ottawa

... It was a mistake to let former NDP MP and BC NDP MLA Justice Thomas Berger impose, in 1977, a ten year moratorium on pipeline construction and it remains a mistake to this day not to proceed with the pipeline and the infrastructure that would go along with it. It should come as no surprise that the Berger Commission was struck by none other than Pierre Elliot not f@@king dead enough Trudeau. In retrospect Justice Berger should have had his ass kicked till he began to bark like an Arctic Fox. |

... Bang on Grandad. It's always interesting to listen to the Left-no-development-save-the-environment (or any other excuse)crowd. Out on the Left Coast we face the same deal. David Anderson, when environment Minister for Critien, prevented the development of offshore oil and gas reserves in the Queen Charlottes area. The area is dead economically and we will see these resources become obsolete before development becomes possible as a result. Use it or loose it. Oil and Gas will become the same as coal is now by mid century. (Canada likely had over 100 coal mines before the mid 1900's.) |

... Coal is far from dead. There's a major new mine being planned on Vancouver Island. http://www.timescolonist.com/b...tory.html Returning to topic: I think the MacKenzie Valley pipeline should only be built if it makes business sense on its own merits. There's another pipeline being designed that will run through Yukon and BC to Albera, and that's the Alaska Gas Pipeline. Then-Governor Palin made the deal work, fast, overriding the slothful tendencies of Big Oil/Gas in Alaska. http://www.transcanada.com/company/alaska_pipeline_project.html |
