In Reply to: pipeline threat alert! posted by Jim Pearce on May 10, 2021 at 09:27:11:
Is Enbridge balking at building the tunnel? Or behind schedule?What struck me in attached article is that Enbridge's profit from Line 5 is $1.4M USD per day, and the tunnel is projected to cost $500M which equates to only 356 days of profit.
See attached.
