More On The Keystone XL Pipeline

Keystone XL pipeline future dependent on shippers

"Contract clause allows pipeline backers to jump ship if project delayed"

"Further delays to TransCanada Corp.’s Keystone XL pipeline could sound a death knell for the massive Alberta-to-Texas bitumen line if shippers pull out, according to industry observers.

The $7-billion project was dealt a blow Thursday after the U.S. State Department put off a decision on the transborder line until early 2013 to review alternative routes, citing public concerns about XL traversing a sensitive water resource.

At a minimum the U.S. ruling presents a delay, at worse it could see key financial support being withdrawn from the $7-billion pipeline, said analysts."
