11-11-14 Some Projects Struggle Against Federal Roadblocks But Sasol Is Succeeding With Its Mega Project

Recommended by NGP Reader Steve Borell: By Frank DiCesare / American Press ... A main component of Sasol’s final regulatory hurdle has been cleared. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on Friday approved Sasol wetlands modification permit, allowing the company to disrupt -- and later replace -- wetlands during construction. Mike Hayes, Sasol’s public affairs manager for U.S. megaprojects, told the American Press on Friday that the permit will also allow Sasol to move ahead with the project's financing. "This means we can start planning to ask management for our Final Investment Decision," Hayes [...]

Edmonton Journal by Graham Thomson.   It’s difficult to think of an issue or problem facing the Alberta government — from health care to education to relations with First Nations — that (Premier Jim Prentice, NGP Photo) hasn’t made an effort to address, if not actually solve. However, the biggest problem facing the province — one that ties in to virtually every other problem facing the province — is getting more of Alberta’s oilsands bitumen to market, specifically Asia.

Post Election Day Highs and Lows

  Brief Post-election Comment: We believe our opinion piece yesterday regarding the struggle between socialism and constitutionalism remains valid.   In Alaska there is a twist. Voters chose to have an all-Republican Congressional Delegation.  This helps create a Republican led Congress that has the potential but not the guarantee of reversing much if not all of the effort to 'fundamentally transform America' into a socialized society. But on the Alaska scene the tension between socialists (Democrats) and constitutionalists (many but not all Republicans) continues. The Republican governor is in danger of [...]

Journal Star Op-ed by Michael Whatley (NGP Photo).  Last month, the federal government released yet another report showing what many of us have known for a long time: the Keystone XL pipeline, which will deliver crude oil from oil fields in Montana, the Dakotas and Canada to refineries in Texas, will be a safe and necessary addition to America's energy infrastructure and its more than 70,000 miles of existing pipelines.  As the U.S. Department of State noted in its final Environmental Impact Statement, the pipeline would "have a degree of safety [...]
