I wouldn't believe a damn thing from Trump until I saw it. Then, I'd look twice. And that goes in spades heading into the election. We've heard of his wall, of Mexico paying, and of his health plan. We're still waiting ...
Of course. I know the US and Canada have been talking about it since the 1990s. However, talks didn't get serious until 2010. The US is also talking with Russia about a railroad from Alaska to Siberia, under the Bering Sea. You might be able to travel from Miami, FL to London, England entirely by train one day.
There is a difference. Trump's promise of building a wall depended entirely on congressional funding. Trump's promise to sign the permit only requires his signature. Just like he signed the Keystone pipeline project, after Obama refused. Trump's past actions concerning Alaska also leads me to believe that he will sign the permit.
Maybe. But excuses are just that. And he don't need Congress to unveil a health plan. I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him. And at his weight, that's not very far at all.
Trump can sign all the permits he wants but a rail line intending to move oil between Alaska and Alberta is going to have a tough row to hoe when the environmental hearings start. That's the reason the application isn't for a pipeline.
I'm not sure I like the Alaska to Russia rail line idea, just off the top of my head. Don't really want more entry points into the USA. Do you want lots of poor uneducated non-English speaking people from Eurasia moving to Alaska?
The railroad is not intended to move oil. We already have the trans-Alaska pipeline and the oil terminal in Valdez, which has been in operation since 1977. However, moving bulk food and other goods by rail may prove to be more economical than shipping by barge from Oregon and Washington. The rail line would have to connect with Fairbanks in order to connect with the Alaska railroad, which runs south to Whittier.
Not only would it be more technically challenging to build a 50+ mile tunnel, Russia also uses a different gauge of rail from either Europe or the US. The US, Mexico, and Canada use the same gauge rail as they use in Europe. This is a world map of all the different railroad gauges:
I'm only interested in the President's signature, not what he says.
This is why I’m of the opinion we need to start suppressing environmentalism. But not directly. Since environmentalist policy if enacted would lead to billions of deaths we should ban pro-genocide organizations then use the law to ban environmentalism
I don't care whether Trump supports the project or not. As I mentioned above, I do not care what his opinion might be, or what he says about the project. The ONLY thing that interests me is his signature. Once that happens then the project will develop a life of its own, just like the Keystone pipeline project. The project can't begin without a presidential permit.
Save your money. The environmental hearings in Canada wil take years and not end wel for the project and that's not looking at the aboriginal issues. There's almost no reason for Canada to allow this.
You are mistaken. The A2A will carry passengers. The route will be from Delta Junction, Alaska, to Fort McKay, Alberta. Not Alberta's oil fields.
