>>>I fully suspect that Union involvement in trying to torpedo a Palin-created effort is paramount in keeping this pipeling from being built, so as to arm an opponent in bringing it up in a debate with Palin in the future. This smacks of Democrat corruption efforts in every case where they want to attack a FEARED opponent.
I think more likely reason is the boom in shale gas in recent years. This has pushed the cost of natural gas down to a point where it is probably uneconomic to transport it across vast distances when there are other low cost sources much closer to end markets.
Yep, I’d have to bet it’s the recent gusher of shale gas that is hitting the market and changing the economics of the pipeline.
