So, if I understand this correctly, the proposed pipeline is a SECOND natural gas pipeline 3 feet in diameter (sorry this old girl needs the old measurements) between Prince George and Kitimat - AND this story is to inform us that these mayors hope to give more momentum to the project?

Does the author of this report have source(s) where one may learn more?

Thank you.

It's a pipeline! It doesn't seem humanly possible to really met the Key commitments listed above.

Well, mom12, to be exact, the pipe would be 35.82" in diameter, so you are correct!
The "key committments" are politically correct blather (less politely known as
bull$#*^!!) They have to say things like "mitigate, manage, assess" to get it past the politicians, who have to figure out how to sell the idea of wrecking more of the environment in the name of profits for foreign nationals.
Bunchacrap, a few short term jobs, that is the benefit to B.C. citizens.

Metalman if you are against a program like the to help out our economy you must be on welfare or retired and very rich or very stupid...

The recent news that this pipeline is to be first used to export our natural gas is a change from what this company's website said a while back.

It was supposed to be an import pipeline to eventually supply the huge requirements from the tar sands expansion. It probably will eventually do this but something must have changed the timing of this.

It is interesting to hear that the US has an export restriction on their natural gas, but we don't. Smart... them US people, knowing that they will need all their gas someday..so why sell it off as fast as they can produce it.

Someone needs to ask our governments of how much natural gas we should be exporting?...actually ask the US companies how much of our gas they intend on exporting... because our governments probably don't know or care.

We won't even get to manufacture the steel pipe or the control systems. Even the trenching machinery is likely built in another country along with the GPS units, other surveying equipment and computers used to control the locating of the pipe.

We are stupid. We just love those Americans and give them all they want For a few short term jobs.

Bridge, BC does not make steel. Ontario does. Which is Canadian. Survey equipment, most of it is made off shore and local business sells them. The machinery, the cheap part is buying it, keeping it working and fueling it up is big bucks. Controls, sure the initial set up is probably from out of country, might be the states but likely off shore. But its our electricians and suppliers that installs it. The big wigs will send a couple of representitives, but the work is here.

Besides, we don't have the infrastructure to build all the components.

You know what, when there throwing in this pipe line, They should throw in a extra 24 inch line for Oil. At every water crossing they should also install an extra 36 inch line. Either for doubling capacity with out having to go through all this enviromental crap in the future.

We need a dedicated line for oil, if we want the Nechako and the Bowser Basin to open up.

We here in BC don't make things. They do back east. All we do/did is/was cut down trees. Visions Electronics was under construction near Walmart. I asked the guy there where the trusses for the building came from. He said Alberta. Cool, eh?

i don't think there is any oil to speak of in the nechako basin it was never a sea bed in the ancient past

Very interesting comments. What we need is a leader in BC that will use our recourses to develop our economy to make us self-sufficient. The present BC Liberals are not doing this. Lets get rid of them and insist that Carole James has a plan to make us self-sufficient.

North Korea is relatively self sufficient. We could learn from them how it is done.
