The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday edition that with the campaigning in British Columbia over, the energy industry says it is time to get down to serious talks on new oil pipelines. The Globe's Kelly Cryderman writes that the surprise win by the Liberals on Tuesday is a relief for energy companies. B.C. NDP Leader Adrian Dix in his campaign said the province would conduct its own inquiry of Enbridge's proposed Northern Gateway pipeline despite the National Energy Board review process. Now the energy industry is hoping the Liberals' new mandate, won on a campaign of putting jobs and the economy first, means real progress can be made. At stake is the B.C. government's position on the Northern Gateway pipeline between Bruderheim, Alta., and Kitimat, B.C., and Kinder Morgan's plans to twin its Trans Mountain pipeline, which runs from just outside of Edmonton to Burnaby, B.C., and which will increase capacity to 890,000 barrels a day from the current 300,000. Those projects, along with TransCanada's proposed Keystone XL pipeline, are considered lifelines for neighbouring Alberta's oil industry. Enbridge believes it can meet the Liberal's five conditions needed for approval.
