Building Energy Corridors Is the Easy Part
Nation-sized infrastructure means nothing if you sell the ownership to foreign investors before the concrete dries.
TL;DR
- Energy corridors are becoming popular again after a decade of obstruction.
- These corridors are designed for multi-use, carrying hydrocarbons, electricity, and transportation links.
- They offer the potential for a single permit, regulatory review, and right-of-way, simplifying development.
- This concept is compared to historical national infrastructure projects like the TransCanada Pipeline and the national rail system.
- The federal government's acquisition of the Trans Mountain expansion pipeline has reignited the debate on public ownership of hydrocarbon infrastructure.
