艾伯塔省将输油管倒向太平洋沿岸;不列颠哥伦比亚省 环境反对,但联邦权威占优势。
Alberta backs pipeline to Pacific coast; B.C. opposes over environment, but federal authority prevails.
艾伯塔总理丹妮尔·史密斯(Danielle Smith)支持拟议的艾伯塔-太平洋沿岸管道, 以刺激经济及石油出口多样化,
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith backs a proposed Alberta-to-Pacific coast pipeline to boost the economy and diversify oil exports, countering British Columbia Premier David Eby’s opposition.
Eby引述环境风险、土著反对、缺乏私人提案、市场需求疲软等, 但有证据表明自1990年代中期以来加拿大沿海水域没有发生重大漏油事件, C-48法案的油轮禁令不适用于外国船只, 土著团体通过相关项目获得数十亿份合同。
Eby cites environmental risks, Indigenous opposition, lack of private proposals, and weak market demand, but evidence shows no major oil spills in Canadian coastal waters since the mid-1990s, Bill C-48’s tanker ban doesn’t apply to foreign vessels, and Indigenous groups have secured billions in contracts through related projects.
高监管成本(而不是缺乏兴趣)说明没有私人提案,而S&P Global项目记录到2025年的油沙产量和2030年的增长,表明市场需求强劲。
High regulatory costs—not lack of interest—explain the absence of private proposals, while S&P Global projects record oilsands production by 2025 and growth through 2030, indicating strong market demand.
