Ecology Action Centre, Environmental Defence: 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, according to 660 News. The company planning to build it, TransCanada Corp. TSX:TRP , aims to file a formal regulatory application this summer and has been engaging with communities along the route in an effort to build support and 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 argued in a report released Tuesday. The pipeline would run 4,600 kilometres from Alberta to Saint John, N.B., using repurposed pipe already in the ground for roughly two thirds of the way. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
