Politically, that was a smart move by Kenney though. Reach out with an olive branch knowing they're just going to spit in your face. Makes it easier to garner local support for the inevitable battle over both Energy East and equalization.

Energy East is dead. With the new mainline tolls, the pipe that was going to be converted is already back in full gas service.
It'd have to be a brand new project to carry oil east, and I don't think any private company would be willing to take on that risk.
