Enbridge, Line 5: update.
Trans Mountain: complete, ready to flow, dot a few more "i's" and cross a few more "t's" and call it a day. Link here.
Evangeline Pass Expansion: Louisiana/Mississippi.
Affirmed by US Circuit Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit; unanimous three-judge panel in DC! Wow. Link here. Important case, had to do with emissions. KMI-backed project; will expand existing pipelines to feed more fuel to Venture Global's Plaquemines LNG export terminal in the Gulf of Mexico.
December 15, 2024: Plaquemines up and running. Link here.
RBN Energy: Michigan gives Line 5A a nudge, but pipeline still ensnared by controversy.
After a roughly three-year wait for a critical state permit, Enbridge’s Great Lakes Tunnel and Pipe Replacement project for its Line 5 pipeline across the Straits of Mackinac in Michigan has taken a step forward. The Army Corps of Engineers’ permits for the tunnel project would seem to be the only major obstacle standing in the way of construction, but there may well be more challenges ahead. Like a few other oil and gas projects — namely, Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) and Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) — Line 5 has become entangled in controversy, including local opposition worried that a spill would irreparably damage their surroundings and spoil the state’s natural resources. In today’s RBN blog, we take a closer look at the Line 5 project, its next steps, and the opposition it continues to encounter.
Wow, pat on the back. There are days that I think the blog is the best Bakken blog on the net. This is one of those days. Free, no ads, no subscriptions, no passwords.

Chattajack
Older daughter Kiri has been officially entered into the 2024 Chattajack paddleboarding race. I think it's the largest race of its kind in the US, maybe the world.
On-line application / registration "opened" at midnight, eastern daylight time, May 1, 2024 -- about nine hours ago. By 12:05 a.m. Kiri was registered. By 12:10 a.m. registration was closed; maximum number of participants had been reached. By 12:30 a.m., there were 136 on the "wait-list."
Truly something special about this event. World-class athletes with beginners / amateurs alongside professionals.
If I recall correctly, May and I will set up "camp" at Raccoon Mountain Pump Station, about mile 18 on the Chattajack course.
