Better late than never I guess.

That's excellent news for Canada's O&G industry. We could send loads of LNG off the East coast and sell it to the EU.

Do you think Canada will be in a position to capitalize on this "business case"?

Could be.

The recent SK announcement about Nat Gas off the coast of NFLD could be the start of this shipping to the EU.

John Weissenberger: Canada used to be able to build pipelines — quickly and cost effectively

The achievements of Canada's lost civilization cannot be overstated

nationalpost.com

Impressive in its own way was the original Trans-Mountain pipeline, from Edmonton to Burnaby, B.C., traversing 1,150 kilometres of mostly rugged, mountainous terrain. Construction began in February 1952, finishing eight months later, costing the equivalent of $1.1 billion today. Expansion of the pipeline, proposed by Kinder Morgan in 2013 — 910 kilometres of line for an estimated $6.8 billion — did not go well. Initial federal approvals alone took three years, followed by a taxpayer buyout and an ultimate cost of $34 billion for six years of construction.

We should complete the optimization plan to get the most out of the line given the circumstances

I learned the other day that Quebec has major natural gas deposits - why they won't tap into those is beyond me.

Doesn't seem to me that Alberta oil is going to be reaching Europe any time soon with Quebec in the way. How quickly can a route through Churchill be developed and could it be made robust enough to carry the oil required?

There was a plan, then it got canned

Baffinland Mine is a very large and very rich deposit of iron ore in, well, Baffin Island. The ore is such a high grade that it requires no processing beyond crushing. They have been trucking to a port via a haul road but have been approved for a 149 km rail line that will enable them to increase production.

Except Trudeau said there was no case for Canadian Natural Gas to be sold to Europe. He canned a large NG port project. We will see how the liberals deal with this case going forward.

Is there a workaround for the ice?

The European Union’s energy chief said the bloc is growing increasingly concerned about its dependence on US liquefied natural gas, particularly in the wake of President Donald Trump’s threats to take over Greenland.

Recent events have been a “wake-up call” for the region, which now relies on the US for more than half its LNG supply, Energy Commissioner Dan Jorgensen said Wednesday. The bloc is actively looking at taking more from Canada, Qatar and North African countries, he said.

Move the Arctic Bay/Nanisivik site to the existing Mary River dock on the Pond Inlet side.

Fuel from Churchill to Steensby then rail through Mary River to the north side.
