TC Energy spinning off Keystone Pipeline, 18 years after it was first proposed
TC Energy is spinning off its liquids pipelines, principally its Keystone/Marketlink system, into a separate, yet to be named company. The move comes 18 years after the natural gas pipeline giant decided to get into oil pipelines, and this spinoff marks its exist from that market.
The spinoff, announced July 27, also comes after more than a decade of battles to get two major oil pipelines built – Keystone XL and Energy East. Both of those projects failed disastrously, especially when it came to more than a billion dollars of charges for each project. For KXL, it was a $2.2 billion writedown, and for Energy East, a billion.
Brian Zinchuk: TC Energy dumping Keystone Pipeline like a despised, soon-to-be-ex-wife
After 18 years of heartbreak and misery, TC Energy is dumping its experiment into oil pipelines like a despised soon-to-be-ex-wife.

Brian Zinchuk: Diesel won’t be easily replaced on the farm, Mr. Minister of Natural Resources
A few years ago I was hired to video and photograph a year on the farm for Jason and Sherrill LeBlanc of Estevan. They had their then-14 year old daughter driving a mammoth Case combine, and doing so well. I wonder how much more productive one girl driving a combine was compared to teams of men with scythes, then stookers, then threshing crews.

Editor’s note: sometimes you just have to hear it from the horse’s mouth. And with that, here is the most recent press release from the federal government villainizing oil and gas:
Greta Thunberg defiant after Swedish court fines her for disobeying police during climate protest
Hours after a Swedish court fined Greta Thunberg for disobeying police during an environmental protest at an oil facility last month, the climate activist once again attempted to block access to the facility and was removed by police.
Earlier on Monday, Thunberg, 20, admitted to the facts but denied guilt, saying the fight against the fossil fuel industry was a form of self-defense due to the existential and global threat of the climate crisis.
Brian Zinchuk: How a real life Hoth ice base in Greenland in the 60s calls CO2 concerns into question today
Whoa, there, Nelly! You’re telling me that carbon dioxide levels were a full third less than they are at this very moment, and yet the northernmost portions of Greenland (the most likely to freeze) was tundra? It did not have most of a mile of ice covering it? Well below the supposedly crucial threshold of 350 parts per million?
Maybe the science isn’t settled, after all.

A coalition of grassroots groups says Canada won’t meet the Sustainable Development Goals it is trying to attain by 2030 as part of a United Nations initiative to bridge inequities around the world.

Young entrepreneur learning the ways of business from dad, launches ice cream bike in Estevan
If there’s one thing Pipeline Online has observed over the years – if you’re not Husky Oil, you’re probably a family business, where the kids learn business from a young age. But usually it’s not 11.
Predator Inspections takes off with drone applications that can improve ESG statements, monitor methane, crops and much more
There’s been a lot of talk about “just transition,” “energy transition” and “coal transition,” but precious little action converting fossil fuel workers to new industries. Rod Cullen, a coal miner from Estevan, is bucking that trend and has launched a business to allow him to eventually “transition” away from his job operating dozers and draglines. He’s also the first currently employed coal miner to successfully secure coal transition funding to help launch a new venture.
