US Approves Alberta Clipper

摘要

The US approved Enbridge's $3.3 billion Alberta Clipper pipeline project on Thursday, granting the project, which will deliver Canadian oil to US refineries, a presidential permit and raising the ire of some environmental groups. The US State Department said that allowing construction of the 450,000 b/d line serves US interests by adding secure oil supplies from outside the Opec nations at a time when political tensions in some producing regions threaten to interfere with oil shipments.
