This  is what makes me laugh. Inane I know is very much an environmentalist and thats fine with me. He makes logical arguments and understands reality, unfortunately in my opinion kos doesn't. You are correct, that pipeline does exist and this expansion is a good thing. Increasing volumes allows Canadian oil to be sold to other markets rather then just the U.S.

 

If Im not mistaken the smaller quantity in the existing pipeline only sells to a refinery in California. What some people don't understand is our oil only sells to the U.S atm for a reduced rate I might add and for the life of me I cant understand why some Canadians like our vast resources being controlled by the Americans. 

 

But hey peaceful protest is fully within one's rights but it sure would be nice if the average protester understood what they were protesting.

 

I know bill c51 may have tried to stop peaceful protest and folks like kos may like that Harper is gone and so is c51--oops Jt supported c51, I doubt kos realized that. :(

:wub:

Apparently what you and a vast majority of those protesters don't realize is that the pipeline is already in place. This would simply be an expansion of what is already there.

Greed is a very ugly personal  quality........   makes people not see things clearly...    Maybe a side effect from long term exposure / contact  to dirty Bitumen TAR sludge...

Trans Mountain line does not carry bitumen....please at least know wtf you are talking about

 

It is a batching line, batching means multiple products being carried along key points through 1 outflow into receiving terminals

 

Heavy crude, light crude, distillates, gasoline.

 

It helps to know wtf you are whining about.

Oh really...

 

What is the Trans Mountain (Kinder Morgan) Pipeline?

There is currently a pipeline which transports primarily diluted bitumen from Edmonton (the Alberta Tar Sands) to our coast in Burnaby (Westridge Marine Terminal), where it is loaded onto tankers and shipped to off-shore buyers. These tankers are maneuvering through the First and Second Narrows, Vancouver Harbour, English Bay, Georgia Strait, the active channels of the Southern Gulf Islands, Haro Strait and the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

Strange as everything i read about KM Pipeline is that it already does in fact ship diluted Bitumen.....

I think it is diluted with chemicals or mixed with a lighter crude.....

 

I admit i am not trained in Petro Chem  business but i am interested to learn more.....

 

Is this not true...about  DB. 

 

 

Diluted Bitumen

 

Bitumen from the tar sands is not like conventional oil. It is a thick tar-like substance and in order to transport it through a pipeline it must be diluted. Common diluents are natural-gas condensate, naphtha, and synthetic crude (whose contents are often proprietary and containing carcinogenic compounds such as benzene). When a spill occurs these chemicals off-gas and can be inhaled by anyone in the area. No one seems able to predict what happens when diluted bitumen is in water. Depending on salinity, sediments, temperature, and wave action, it might sink, separate, or float. This makes emergency preparedness extremely difficult.

You cared enough to post on an Internet forum. 

Just saying. 

It was actually an attempt at humour.   I have no idea what you do for work nor do i care what you do.

You called me drunk.  That was kind of mean spirited of you don't you think....
