Canada, U.S. Pursue ‘Joint Interest’ in Getting Pipelines Built – The Energy Mix: “The Canadian federal government is advocating for the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline to continue,” Bloomberg writes, citing the Globe. “It’s also pushing for movement on the Line 3 replacement pipeline project between the two countries, which is awaiting final approval for the construction to start on the U.S. side.”
But it may take more than a friendly chat between two cabinet ministers, one of whom may well be out of office in another 174 days, to deliver on that agenda. Brouillette’s boss, Donald Trump, has spent much of the last four years trying to get new fossil infrastructure built. That effort culminated three weeks ago with a whirlwind of court or business decisions against the Keystone XL, Dakota Access, and Atlantic Coast pipelines, prompting U.S. campaigners to declare “a turning point in their war against the Trump administration’s effort to cement a fossil-fueled future for the United States,” InsideClimate News wrote at the time.
