[All] Latest submission re: Line 10

[Lanteigne]

Hi folks
I just finished a new letter of comment for the National Energy Board's review on the sale of Enbridge Line 10 pipeline to Westover Express who is wholly owned by United Refining Co. in Warren PA. 
Lots of incredible info here. 
Taps into the issue of outdated Tariff rates, alarming geological risks and the changing priorities of the global community to divest. 
If you view the first file it's the 11 page Letter of comment. All the others are the supporting docs.

Of all the attachments used, this one was my favorite. It's a 2016 article about Enbridge saying how they want to divest from Alberta oil sands. First line says:
Canada’s largest pipeline company is trying to rebalance its business so that it won’t be dependent on Alberta’s oilsands sector after 2019, Enbridge executives told a conference call on Friday.

Here is a direct quote from Enbridge's CEO Al Monaco: 

“In terms of how we look at growth beyond 2019, we’ve been trying to establish opportunities around new platforms, whether it’s power generation, transmission, natural gas and other opportunities to build that inventory now for the future,” said Monaco. “You can't just find new opportunities when you need them. You have to start building for the future early and that’s what we’ve been doing over the last couple of years.”

Monaco also said that he believed it would be an excellent time for investing in wind and solar projects in Alberta, particularly after the provincial government announced a new climate change plan that proposes an economy-wide tax on carbon pollution, while encouraging more renewable forms of energy.

"We think this is a very good environment (in Alberta) to invest in renewables," said Monaco. "You've got a great resource, plus you've got a set of conditions, from a policy point of view that would support further investment here and obviously, we're an Alberta-based company, so this is good news."
Have a happy holiday folks!
