It\u2019s a complicated situation and it\u2019s important to take the time to understand the long list of PEST factors (Political, Economic, Social and Technical) surrounding the decision. But first, let\u2019s look at the global background.<\/p>\n<div style=\"float: left; margin-right: 14px;\"><strong><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45658\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n<p>A reliable and affordable source of energy for transportation is vital to life for the world\u2019s growing population. The world\u2019s vehicle manufacturers are aggressively developing vehicles with electric motors to replace oil-burning internal combustion engines, but there are many constraints. It will take two generations to replace the world\u2019s easiest applications and longer to replace the more difficult applications along with enough clean electricity to power them.<\/p>\n<p>Canada is home to the world\u2019s third largest proven reserves of oil. Based on current production rates, reserve-life is 125 years for Canada, 81 for the Middle East, 21 for Russia, 19 for the USA, 19 for China, and 1 year for the European Union. That works out to 55 years for the world.<\/p>\n<p>According to the International Energy Agency, carbon emissions from producing Canada\u2019s oil sands product are about 7 per cent higher than the average of other sources and 7 per cent lower than some sources. The IEA says, \u201cThe difference in emissions is too small to be a factor in the sourcing of oil.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Canada has the right and also the obligation to share our vital resource with the 185 countries that will need oil for the foreseeable future, but have little or no oil of their own.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently, Canada must find the best ways to minimize greenhouse gas emissions from oil production and other sources and to transport our oil to the countries and people who need it.<\/p>\n<p>Pipelines have proven to be the safest and most economical way to transport oil. The pipeline options in the order they were proposed are:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>A new 1,177 km Northern Gate pipeline from Alberta to Kitimat BC<\/li>\n<li>A re-purposed 4,500 km Energy East Pipeline from Alberta to St John NB<\/li>\n<li>An expanded 1,150 km Kinder-Morgan pipeline to the port of Vancouver<\/li>\n<li>A new 1,000 km Eagle-Spirit energy corridor for Alberta oil and BC gas to Prince Rupert BC<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>In the following evaluation, a rating of 1 indicates the best option for each factor, 2 is second best, etc.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-50266\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2018\/06\/Screen-Shot-2018-06-14-at-8.30.46-AM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"721\" height=\"155\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2018\/06\/Screen-Shot-2018-06-14-at-8.30.46-AM-300x64.png 300w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2018\/06\/Screen-Shot-2018-06-14-at-8.30.46-AM.png 721w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 721px) 100vw, 721px\" \/>In all cases spill risk is not zero, but with latest proven mitigation measures, risk is statistically very small. It is important to keep things in perspective. A recent Kinder-Morgan spill near Kamloops was reported as 4,800 liters.  That sounds big but it is the equivalent of three times our home propane tank or 4 per cent of a rail tank car.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-50267\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2018\/06\/Screen-Shot-2018-06-14-at-8.33.30-AM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"719\" height=\"173\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2018\/06\/Screen-Shot-2018-06-14-at-8.33.30-AM-300x72.png 300w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2018\/06\/Screen-Shot-2018-06-14-at-8.33.30-AM.png 719w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 719px) 100vw, 719px\" \/>Kinder-Morgan can be built and provide economic and social benefits sooner because it is an expansion of an known and already serviced route.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-50275\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2018\/06\/Screen-Shot-2018-06-14-at-10.04.47-AM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"173\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2018\/06\/Screen-Shot-2018-06-14-at-10.04.47-AM-300x72.png 300w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2018\/06\/Screen-Shot-2018-06-14-at-10.04.47-AM.png 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/>Kinder-Morgan and Energy East are more politically difficult because they pass thru more densely populated areas.  Most environmental activists categorically oppose all pipeline options, but have no viable alternative to offer.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-50276\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2018\/06\/Screen-Shot-2018-06-14-at-10.07.06-AM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"727\" height=\"155\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2018\/06\/Screen-Shot-2018-06-14-at-10.07.06-AM-300x64.png 300w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2018\/06\/Screen-Shot-2018-06-14-at-10.07.06-AM.png 727w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 727px) 100vw, 727px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>These are all viable projects, but each has its particular pros and cons. At the end of the day, Kinder-Morgan has advantages in the technical, economic and social considerations that are not and should not be overcome by purely political considerations.<\/p>\n<p>Vancouver is Canada\u2019s biggest ocean port. Traffic will increase from 0.4 to 1.2 oil tankers per day in the port of Vancouver compared to 22 in Rotterdam, 30 in Houston, and 61 per day in Singapore.  Those mid-sized (Aframax) tankers will be escorted by expert Canadian-trained pilots and two tugs, with one tug tethered at all times until they reach the open ocean.<\/p>\n<p>Eagle Spirit is second in overall rank. If and when more capacity is needed, it would be a strong candidate.<\/p>\n<div style=\"float: left; margin-right: 14px;\"><strong><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45658\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n<p>While even temporary government ownership of a pipeline is unusual in Canada, 75 per cent of the world\u2019s oil production is done by government-owned enterprises.  Once the pipeline is running, there is significant upside potential to sell it at a profit, if so decided.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone who has visited China recently will tell you they were blown away by the dramatic progress being made by that generally benevolent one-party government.  Sometimes it is necessary to bring closure to the endless wrangling that tends to take place in democracies, whether the Left or the Right is in power. This is one of those times and I am glad it was done.<\/p>\n<p>To further minimize the risk and consequences of both pipeline spills and tanker spills, Alberta bitumen could \/ should be refined in Alberta and \/ or Northeast BC. That would bring hundreds more good jobs.<\/p>\n<p>To totally eliminate carbon emissions, Alberta could \/ should use electricity from clean, safe advanced nuclear reactors that are reliable 24\/7 regardless of weather. Instead of wasting the clean and cost-free surplus heat from those reactors, it could \/ should be used to replace the natural gas heat currently used for oil extraction, upgrading and refining.<\/p>\n<p><em>Hugh Holland is a retired engineering and manufacturing executive now living in Huntsville, Ontario.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!
