As much as we like to complain about energy east, I don't see an economic case for it getting built anymore (as long as Keystone gets finished). We will have more than enough pipeline capacity for the foreseeable future.
Excess capacity actually hurts oil producers through higher transportation tolls. The same way it hurts them with too little capacity through lower crude pricing. Right now we don't have enough. With Keystone and Trans Mountain we hopefully hit that sweet spot, Energy East would put us over the top.
Although tanking and railcars are not the most environmentally and logistically ideal way to get to our eastern refineries. It still seems like a economical solution if that is the crude the refineries want.
