Clearly, most of this pipeline would be in Canada (Yukon Territory to British Columbia to Alberta?). There are two different routes being proposed for the natural gas pipeline. One uses the same route as the Alaska pipeline to cross Alaska and then uses the Alaska highway corridor to link up with existing natural gas pipelines in Alberta. The other follows the MacKenzie river valley in the Northwest Territories to get to Alberta. I have heard numbers like it will cost $10 Billion and it will take 6 to 10 years to build either pipeline.

Re: The Geysers Hi Kevin, I've been lurking for a while and want to say thanks for your efforts! I'm trying to build a picture in my mind of this company and it's prospects. One thing that I've discovered in my DD is that CPN has acquired the geothermal assets of PG&E up near Geyserville. When I was taking some grad courses in the mid '80's in the City, one of my classmates was a Project Manager for Gas & Light. This was a few years after the project had been developed, and it was a real disappointment, according to the PM. Seems that the geologists had grossly overestimated steam pound potential, and the plant was at some risk of either depletion or generation cutbacks to uneconomic levels. I'm wondering if any here have any knowledge of this resource and the economics of the Geyserville complex at present. Thanks for any replies. <s> Best, Ray
