Sure, but they have about 200km of desert to cross, and with enough slave labour can have them built in a few years. With all the uncertainties of a pipeline of that magnitude, crossing arctic tundra where permafrost may eventually not be permafrost, or, perhaps a volcano comes along and causes some global cooling making the arctic sea route frozen for decades longer than anticipated...nevermind the government hurdles...it just doesn't seem like something corporations will risk when short term stock prices are in control.
