National Energy Board approves Keystone XL Pipeline Project

CNW -- CALGARY, March 11 /CNW/ - The National Energy Board (NEB) today approved an application from TransCanada Keystone Pipeline GP Ltd. (TransCanada) to construct and operate the Keystone XL Pipeline Project, as well as the proposed tolls for the pipeline once it becomes operational.

The NEB found the proposed pipeline to be in the public interest and accepted that the project would connect a large, long term and strategic market for Western Canadian crude oil with the U.S. Gulf Coast in a manner that would bring economic and other benefits to Canadians.

The Canadian portion of the project involves the construction and operation of approximately 529 kilometres of new pipeline and related facilities.

One reason they are not shipping it by tanker is that the Canadian portion of the project involves the construction of a pipeline from Hardisty, Alberta to the Canada/U.S. border at Monchy, Saskatchewan. This means they would need to build a pipeline twice as long over the mountains to get to the nearest sea port where it could be put on a tanker.

Because we will need it for the next 10-20 yrs it will be before green energy can significantly have an impact on our energy needs. Wake up people before it's too late.
