PIPELINES NOW.....isnt Kinder Morgan doubling their capacity out to the west coast???  Or did I read some ficticiuos piece of info recently??

The boondoogle refinery was precipitated by the boondoogle PCs, the inventor of the Ralph bucks(I still am incredulous that this actually happened) to appease some bone headed idea that we can compete with the beheamouths of  Houston.

At least the liberals have started pipeline talks with KM and hopefully the east line will begin before
oil becomes replaced entirely one day.  Maybe thats the holy grail question out there.  For now it is cheaper and probably better for the environment to put a straw into the ground in Saudi Arabia  and ship the stuff over to St. John.  This is the hard and cold truth, and if the Saudis ramp up production, then all bets are off on these mega projects.
If indeed oil drops to the low 30s again it will be most interesting to see how the NA oil industry transforms itself. Lots of takeovers, MA s
