ince one of Trump's first acts in office will be to approve the Keystone Pipe with 25% more new capacity than Transmountain, there is no economic need for the TM pipe until well into the 2020's. By then EV's and transpo efficiencies will likely have eliminated the market for dirty expensive Tar - an iffy investment indeed. If Kinder was required to reroute the pipe to clear sailing from a Roberts Bank terminal instead of Burnaby there might be an argument for the pipe as an environmental win win.

The tankers can route through US waters between Lummi and Orcas Islands scaring American whales already used to massive shipping traffic to Seattle.
