Better build it really fast or it won't be built at all.

Right -- very quickly -- I don't know if it will even have time to get off the ground??

Better build it really fast or it won't be built at all.

Or some injunction to protect an endangered spotted something or other.

Trump signs order authorizing pipeline project partially reviving Keystone XL line

April 30 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday signed an order granting a cross-border permit to a ​project that would revive parts of the Keystone XL ‌pipeline to transport Canadian crude from the U.S.-Canada border to Wyoming.
The pipeline, proposed by Canadian pipeline company South Bow and its U.S. partner Bridger ​Pipeline, could increase Canada's crude exports to the U.S. by ​more than 12% if it goes ahead. A presidential ⁠permit was required for the project to proceed.

The new proposal involves ​a different route through the U.S. than the previous Keystone XL ​pipeline project, which was canceled by former U.S. President Joe Biden in 2021 after years of Indigenous and environmental opposition.
But it will use some of the ​previously built pipe on the Canadian side, where the Keystone ​XL line is already fully permitted. South Bow was set up by ‌former ⁠Keystone XL proponent TC Energy in 2024 to take over its oil pipeline business.
South Bow's U.S. partner, Bridger Pipeline, recently filed a proposal with Montana regulators that describes the construction of a ​645-mile (1,038-km) pipeline - capable ​of transporting up ⁠to 550,000 bpd - beginning near the U.S.-Canada border in Phillips County, Montana, and transiting to ​Guernsey, Wyoming.............

If it can get done before the next Democrat sits at the Resolute Desk...That's what killed the Keystone XL, Biden's EO, day one.

Yes I've seen it discussed here, the fact we operate by executive orders now doesn't help things... builders know that the next guy will just cancel everything...

I wonder if this will impact the secession vote in Alberta?

I thought what really killed it was a series of court rulings even more than Executive

Good question.

There was a decade of court wrangles that slowed it down, Nut Joe Biden killed it as part of EO 13990 which revoked the permit for the pipeline, among other things. Jan 20, 2021.
