Ah yes, Enbridge... the BP of pipeline operators... IOW, IMO, Enbridge is the worst pipeline operator in North America... if you look up accident/incident reports, I believe you will find Enbridge's name way more often than any other... bottom line, I believe Keystone pipeline is necessary, but if Enbridge is running it, they will need a LOT of oversight as they have a reputation for not doing recommended maintenance, etc. -- cutting corners... in fact, if Kinder Morgan or one of the better pipeline companies were taking the lead on Keystone, it would be a much easier sell... ask people in the business about Enbridge and their reputation for how they do business and you might agree with me that although we want/need Keystone, we may want someone else to take the lead instead of Enbridge.
