At this point us building another pipeline is right up there with re-committing to beaver pelts as our main plan

A bunch of electrical transmission lines might be a different story, but the expected lifetime of a pipeline is in many decades and the price of solar is doing the Moore's Law chip thing

Prince Rupert gets "port" proposals about every two years, there's always some promoter. Until a buyer for the export steps up with capital (some flirt with it at the top of the resource price cycle and bail as prices soften) it's just talk. This is about Alberta provincial politics, not reality.

Sometimes you want to let the dog catch the car? There is no way in hell the proposed pipeline is economically feasible and there exactly zero private investors clamouring for it. Letting Smith run into a wall at full tilt destroys the argument forever. Analogy is PQ losing another referendum

There is < 10% as much methanol being sublimated off of 3I as there is water, and only a few parts per thousand as much cyanide as water.

But please do not try to taste the comet.
