I’m playing something of a devil’s advocate here, but I think there’s a case to be made that the three new pipelines announced recently could end up being a good thing–for the environment!

Pardon my ignorance but don’t we already have a pipeline that covers the benefits alleged for the second pipeline?
Maybe my memory fails me but doesn’t the existing trans mountain pipeline already connects to the Burnaby port where it can be shipped overseas? Is the point that the current pipeline flow to Asia is at capacity and is limiting our capacity to shift away from US exports?
That’s my understanding. Although if you read you hear lots of conflicting things. I try to restrict myself to good news sources like the CBC, government websites, peer-reviewed articles, etc.
I see. I don’t have a good source to tell me at a glance if the existing pipeline really is the bottleneck for market diversification at this point. It’s plausible. If that’s the case, then I agree it’s a positive; though I can’t also comfortably say it’s net positive yet
