Export Markets and Energy East Pipeline

Energy East pipeline: The proposed Energy East pipeline wont be the boon to Eastern Canadian refineries that supporters claim because the vast majority of the oil in it would be bound for export markets, environmental groups argue in a report being released Tuesday, according to The Chronicle Herald. The pipeline would run 4,600 kilometres from Alberta to Saint John, using repurposed pipe already in the ground for roughly two thirds of the way and The $12-billion project would likely use the lions share of its 1.1 million barrel per day capacity to send unrefined oilsands crude to markets like India, Europe and possibly the United States, says the report, penned by The Council of Canadians, Ecology Action Centre, Environmental Defence and Equiterre.
