B.C. Insider: Premier, Energy Minister say Alberta’s pipeline proposals aren’t viable
- In the past week, the Energy Minister of British Columbia, Adrian Dix, rejected Alberta's plans to construct a new pipeline through the province.
- Dix rejected the proposals because past efforts, like the Northern Gateway project, faced Indigenous opposition and legal setbacks.
- Dix emphasized no economic case exists for the project, noting the Trans Mountain expansion cost taxpayers $34 billion, six times initial estimates.
- Alberta Energy Minister Brian Jean said on Wednesday after the first ministers meeting that no serious or viable project currently exists for a new pipeline.
- The rejection suggests ongoing challenges for Alberta’s pipeline ambitions, with no private proponents and B.C. opposing oil tanker traffic lifting off its coast.
