Update On Keystone XL
(Yes, That Pipeline)
Update On Keystone XL
(Yes, That Pipeline)
Update, link here:
- first, old news: despite a leak on the "old" Keystone, some months ago, Nebraska regulators "voted in favor of the "new" Keystone XL
- TransCanada appears to begin work on the "new" Keystone XL this fall: clearing vegetation ahead of construction; Reuters cites a letter from the US State Department to Native American communities in Montana, near the route of the pipeline
- TransCanada has not yet made a final investment decision (FID) on the $8 billion project (US dollars)
- having said that, TransCanada confirms that it expects construction of the Keystone XL to begin in 2019
- if not further delayed, I would assume a start date in 2019 could mean a completion date by the end of 2020

Amazon Really Is Amazing
The WSJ had a review of a book that looked like the "perfect" book for our son-in-law who lives out-of-state (i.e., not in the state we live in, the state of confusion. LOL. Just kidding, the state of Texas).
So, surf over to Amazon, a simple click or two and the book is on its way. No state tax if the state it is being sent to has no state tax. No driving to brick-and-mortar store to see if it is in stock (most likely it is not). No buying it and paying the 8% Texas state tax (if it in stock). No taking it home, wrapping it, and then driving to the US Post Office to pay $6.00 to have it shipped. Amazon ships it for free. And, not only that, it will arrive in two days.
Truly amazing.
And one more thing. I can begin reading it immediately, either on my laptop or on a tablet.
