Podcasts about oil pipeline

This week, our guest is the Honourable Brian Jean, Alberta's Minister of Energy and Minerals. The conversation was recorded at an ARC Financial event in Calgary on June 9. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz has underscored the importance of energy security and supply diversity. This, along with more supportive federal policies, is raising expectations for growth in Alberta's oil and gas sector. On the podcast this week, Jackie asks Minister Jean about Alberta's opportunity to expand oil and gas production, including: Is the Strait of Hormuz closure and the Iran war reshaping how people view Canadian energy? What is Alberta's goal for oil production growth, and what changes, regulatory and otherwise, are supporting that goal? How does Alberta benefit from the build-out of LNG export capacity on the West Coast? The Canada–Alberta MOU outlines a plan to submit a 1 MMB/d oil pipeline to reach Asian markets to the Major Projects Office, with the aim of starting the regulatory review by early July. What is its status, and does the decision on the large oil sands CCS project affect the path forward? Are discussions underway with BC on the pipeline and with local communities, including Indigenous groups? And what are Alberta's opportunities in mineral production and, potentially, processing? Content referenced in this podcast: Canada Government, Overview of Canada's National Artificial Intelligence Strategy: AI for All (June 4, 2026) Global Energy Show (June 9 to 11, 2026) Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/Check us out on social media:X (Twitter): @arcenergyinstLinkedIn: @ARC Energy Research InstituteSubscribe to ARC Energy Ideas PodcastApple PodcastsAmazon MusicSpotify

A circuit court judge is deciding whether permits issued by the state allowing Enbridge to build its Line 5 pipeline reroute in Wisconsin's Northwoods are legal. But in the meantime, he is allowing work on the new Line 5 to continue -- except in a few key places.

On May 15, Alberta and Ottawa announced updates to their MOU on carbon markets and energy policy, aimed at advancing a greenfield oil pipeline proposal to Asian markets by July 1, with possible construction readiness after September 2027. The agreement lowers industrial carbon compliance costs and introduces a TIER price floor (called a minimum transfer price), although industry groups still argue that costs remain too high. The new framework also introduces additional complexity and uncertainty around carbon markets. While the deal marks progress toward a West Coast oil export pipeline, key uncertainties remain regarding commitments to the Oil Sands Alliance Pathways CCS project, opposition in British Columbia, and the future of the Clean Electricity Regulations (CER). On May 14, the federal government also announced a national electricity strategy. The strategy includes plans for regional electricity planning, along with proposed measures such as extending the Clean Electricity ITC to certain intra-provincial transmission projects and a plan to consult on added flexibility to the CER. To help Peter and Jackie unpack this wave of policy announcements and their implications for carbon markets and investment, they are joined by Rachel Walsh, Director and Head of Carbon Strategy and Partnerships at BMO Capital Markets. Content referenced in this podcast: Government of Canada, Powering Canada Strong: A National Strategy for an Electrified Canadian Economy (May 14, 2026) Prime Minister's Office, Canada and Alberta strike agreement to diversify our exports, reduce emissions, and build a stronger economy (May 15, 2026) Prime Minister's Office, Implementation Agreement for the Canada-Alberta MOU of November 27, 2026 (May 15, 2026) Alberta Government, Release on the updates to the Canada-Alberta MOU Agreement (May 15, 2026) Studio.Energy, Carbon Competitiveness and Canada's Oil Industry (April 21, 2026) Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/ Check us out on social media: X (Twitter): @arcenergyinstLinkedIn: @ARC Energy Research Institute Subscribe to ARC Energy Ideas PodcastApple PodcastsAmazon MusicSpotify

Ottawa-Alberta relations took a step forward last week with the signing of an agreement that potentially paves the way for a new oil pipeline to the coast.The deal gives a timeline on approvals for a pipeline, should a proponent come forward, and allows Alberta and the feds to calm the waters in an at-times testy relationship.National Post politics reporter Stephanie Taylor joins the show to discuss what went into the deal, what concessions Alberta had to make, and how this squares with the federal government's push for national projects but also its environmental goals.

U.S. President Donald Trump approved a new cross-border oil pipeline project linking Canada to Wyoming. The pipeline would carry up to about 550,000 barrels of oil per day from Canada through Montana to Wyoming. The City of Vancouver has ceased funding for a program that helped vulnerable populations stay safe during extreme heat. What lead to this decision? In the February budget, the BC government said they were "repacing" the Burnaby Hospital redevlopment. It turns out, that means it's cancelled. Learn more about your ad choices.

California is once again putting its radical environmental agenda ahead of America's national security. Attorney General Rob Bonta has filed a lawsuit against the federal government, attempting to shut down a vital offshore oil pipeline that was just restarted under the Defense Production Act. While state leaders point to a spill from over a decade ago, federal officials argue the pipeline is critical for stabilizing the U.S. energy supply during a time of international conflict. This legal battle represents a major clash between California's extreme green policies and the nation's practical energy needs. Is Sacramento willing to jeopardize American energy independence to score political points? This move could have devastating consequences for consumers and our security.

When international crises occur, significant disruptions in the global supply chain can impact our daily lives in very real ways. Lately, for example, the conflict in the Middle East has been largely responsible for increasing gas prices at the pump because seaways like the Strait of Hormuz are the corridors through which much of the world's oil travels. In this episode, we visit again with Vince Mantero, TTI's director for the Institute's Center for Ports and Waterways, about how crises (manmade or otherwise) can impact shipping routes, energy flows, and operations at U.S. ports. | Meet Vince Mantero, TTI's Director for the Center for Ports and Waterways

This week, our guest is the Honourable Tim Hodgson, Canada's Minister of Energy and Natural Resources. The conversation was recorded at CERAWeek in Houston on March 24, 2026. Here are some of the questions Jackie asked Minister Hodgson: How is Canadian energy being perceived at CERAWeek, particularly in the context of the war in the Middle East? Do you expect that Canada will meet the Prime Minister's targets of 50 million tonnes per annum of LNG exports by 2030 and potentially double that by 2040? What steps is Canada taking to attract the hundreds of billions in capital required to advance and build major projects, particularly amid strong competition from the United States? With the first deadline for the Alberta–Ottawa Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) just one week away, what progress has been made, and what are the prospects for advancing a 1 MMB/d oil pipeline to access Asian markets? Is Canada fiscally competitive, especially given its carbon pricing and policy framework compared to the United States? And finally, what opportunities lie ahead for Canada in electricity generation growth? Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/ Check us out on social media: X (Twitter): @arcenergyinstLinkedIn: @ARC Energy Research Institute Subscribe to ARC Energy Ideas PodcastApple PodcastsAmazon MusicSpotify 

Tribes in Michigan oppose Enbridge the Line 5 oil pipeline replacement plan, arguing the environmental risks to their traditional waters far outweigh any benefits. The proposal to replace the 70-year-old pipeline that currently runs through Michigan and Wisconsin has faced many legal challenges over the years. Now, the U.S. Supreme Court will decide whether the state or federal government should have say over how the project proceeds. The decision could set a precedent on how much power tribes and states have in regulating fossil fuel development. We’ll speak with tribal leaders, Native legal scholars, and others about what's next for the ongoing Line 5 pipeline legal battle. GUESTS Wenona Singel (Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa), associate professor of law at Michigan State University College of Law and associate director of the Indigenous Law and Policy Center Elizabeth Arbuckle (Bad River), chairwoman of the Bad River Tribe Melissa Kay, Tribal Water Institute fellow at the Native American Rights Fund Break 1 Music: Nothing New Since 1492 (song) RematriNation (artist) Break 2 Music: Hard Times Will Be Coming (song) Courtney Yellow Fat (artist) The Lost Songs of Sitting Bull (album) The full statement by Enbridge on the U.S. Supreme Court case: We are encouraged that the U.S. Supreme Court has heard arguments and is reviewing the June 2024 decision of the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. The Sixth Circuit's ruling conflicts with decisions issued by two other federal Circuit Courts of Appeals, and the Supreme Court's review will provide needed clarity by resolving that conflict. For more than six years, the Attorney General has attempted to shut down Line 5 based on perceived safety concerns. However, the safety of Line 5 is regulated exclusively by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), an agency of the U.S. Department of Transportation. PHMSA conducts annual reviews of Line 5's safety compliance across the Straits of Mackinac and has not identified any safety issues with its continued operation. There are also significant implications for energy security and foreign affairs if the Attorney General continues to pursue the lawsuit now in state court. We believe that federal law prohibits the Attorney General from shutting down Line 5. A shutdown of Line 5 would undermine the 1977 Transit Pipelines Treaty, which prohibits Michigan from impeding the operation of the pipeline. It would also undermine the legal doctrine that reserves foreign affairs matters for the federal government. The lawful operation of the Line 5 Dual Pipelines continues to be vital to provide needed petroleum products, including home heating and transportation fuels, to Michiganders, the Detroit Metro Airport, and the surrounding region.  We value our relationships with all the communities and community members in areas where Enbridge has assets. As we continue to move closer to construction on the Great Lakes Tunnel Project, we remain committed to including Tribes and Tribal citizens in this incredibly important and consequential project and welcome constructive dialogue and engagement. Line 5 is critical energy infrastructure. The Great Lakes Tunnel makes a safe pipeline safer while also ensuring the continued safe, secure, and affordable delivery of essential energy to the Great Lakes region.

On Saturday, March 14, using the pretext of the war on Iran and spiking fuel prices, the Trump administration allowed Sable Offshore Corp. to restart the controversial Santa Ynez offshore oil platform and pipeline along the Santa Barbara County coast. The pipeline has been shut down since 2015, when a rupture caused by external corrosion caused a massive 142,000-gallon spill at Refugio State Beach and sent some 21,000 gallons of oil into the Pacific Ocean. The move has led to a showdown of sorts that's pitting Sable and the Trump administration against local environmental groups and authorities in Santa Barbara and the State of California. To shed light on this developing situation and the broader ramifications of the Trump administration ramping up extraction and use of fossil fuels,Terra Verde co-host and Earth Island Journal editor-in-chief, Maureen Nandini Mitra, talks with Talia Nimmer, an attorney with the Climate Law Institute at the Center for Biological Diversity, and Collin Rees, US Program Manager at Oil Change International.   Take Action: Tell the US Department of Transportation not to waive California's safety requirements for Sable's pipeline.

Day 1,462.Today, as Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine enters its fifth year, we report live from Kyiv the morning after world leaders gathered in the Ukrainian capital to reaffirm their support for President Zelensky. With a new round of Ukraine-Russia-US peace talks scheduled in Geneva and fresh Russian aerial attacks across the country, we ask whether there is any tangible movement – aside from continued Ukrainian advances in the south. We also examine reports that Russia is sending migrants into Europe through covert routes as part of a hybrid strategy, and consider why Kyiv has not been targeted in the air war for several consecutive days.

Talk of a new oil pipeline to B.C.'s North Coast is back — again. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith wants it. So does Prime Minister Mark Carney. But B.C. Premier David Eby isn't convinced.  This is VANCOLOUR host Mo Amir speaks with UBC political scientist Stewart Prest about why the pipeline debate in British Columbia may be different this time. Is the real barrier engineering and cost, or politics and consent? And is Canada once again repeating pipeline history?Recorded: February 2, 2026  

With U.S. President Donald Trump saying he intends to take control of Venezuela's oil industry, Canada's top leaders are assessing the implications for local economies, with attention towards the proposed bitumen pipeline from Alberta to B.C.'s coast. B.C. Premier David Eby is maintaining his opposition to the project, though, stressing there is no private sector proponent. We ask viewers if they think there is added pressure for Canada to build the proposed pipeline as UBC business professor Werner Antweiler breaks down what the U.S. play for the Venezuelan oil industry would mean for the Canadian economy. The CBC's Paula Duhatschek breaks down its potential impacts to Canada's oil industry. B.C. Assembly of First Nations Regional Chief Terry Teegee joins the show to discuss how the Venezuelan oil prospects factor into pipeline discussions among local First Nations.

A framework agreement between Canada's federal government and the province of Alberta aims to kickstart a process to construct a new crude oil pipeline to the country's west coast that would expand direct crude exports to Asia and reduce reliance on the U.S. as an export customer.

We're closing out the year with our final podcast of 2025, looking back at the biggest stories and revisiting the predictions we made at the start of the year. How did we do? 2025 delivered volatility and plenty of surprises, along with a long list of developments with real consequences for energy, both clean energy and traditional oil and gas. We cover major policy shifts, including the election of the Mark Carney Liberals in Canada, the introduction of Bill C-5, the launch of the Major Projects Office, the Ottawa–Alberta Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), and growing political support for LNG. We also review changes in the United States, including tariffs and the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB), which rolled back many of America's generous clean energy subsidies.  Another recurring theme this year was the surge in expectations for AI data center electricity demand—including in Canada, where three proposed projects in Alberta are moving closer to a final investment decision.It's been a whirlwind year. Jackie and Peter wish everyone a wonderful holiday break, and we'll return in 2026.Content referenced in this podcast:  The Hub.ca, Have we really hit peak oil?

A memorandum of understanding (MOU) between Alberta and the Canadian federal government was signed on November 27, 2025. It declared a shared goal of making Canada a global energy superpower by building one or more privately financed oil pipelines, co-owned with Indigenous Peoples, to ship at least 1 million barrels per day of low-emission Alberta bitumen, prioritizing routes to Asian markets, and submitting an application to the Major Projects Office by July 1.   Building the pipeline requires building the large-scale oil sands Pathways carbon capture and storage (CCS) project. Alberta and the federal government will also engage with the Government of British Columbia on the pipeline initiative. Among other commitments, the MOU pledges to suspend the Canadian Electricity Regulations (CER) as they apply to Alberta and to scrap the proposed nationwide oil and gas emissions cap for producers. Further details are expected to be finalized by April 1. To unpack this tectonic shift in Alberta–Ottawa relations—along with the first wave of media coverage and the deal's potential benefits for Canada —Peter and Jackie are joined by guest Deborah Yedlin, President and CEO of the Calgary Chamber of Commerce. Content referenced in this podcast:Canada-Alberta Memorandum of Understanding (November 27, 2025) Angus Reid Institute Polling on Support and Opposition for Alberta-BC Pipeline (November 27, 2025) CBC At Issues Panel on Carney's Alberta Pipeline Partnership (November 28, 2025)Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/ Check us out on social media: X (Twitter): @arcenergyinstLinkedIn: @ARC Energy Research Institute Subscribe to ARC Energy Ideas PodcastApple PodcastsAmazon MusicSpotify

CBC's Kate McKenna reports that a memorandum of understanding set to be announced by Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and Prime Minister Mark Carney on Thursday will include political support for a pipeline and carve-outs from environmental laws, according to multiple sources. Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe relays what he told Carney about why a pipeline to the B.C. coast is necessary. Plus, Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand says that Canada's agreement to restart talks toward a trade deal with India is happening against the backdrop of a dialogue on security and interference.

What's really behind B.C. Premier David Eby's hard "no" on an Alberta-to-B.C. oil pipeline—and is there anything that could sway him? Alberta Edge guest host Falice Chin sits down with two NDP insiders to discuss the politics, pressures, and power plays shaping one of the country's most consequential interprovincial fights. Keith McLaughlin and Shannon Greer—both former staffers under former Alberta premier Rachel Notley—break down some of the current competing interests and make the case for why it's time for Prime Minister Mark Carney to haul the premiers of Alberta and B.C. into the "principal's office."   This podcast is generously supported by Don Archibald.

This week on the podcast, Jackie and Peter begin with a roundup of the latest developments in Canadian energy. They start by discussing Prime Minister Carney's remarks at the ASEAN Summit in Malaysia, where he suggested that Canada could export up to 50 million tonnes of LNG per year (about 6.5 Bcf/d) by 2030, with the potential to double that by 2040. They then turn to the upcoming federal budget, which is expected to include details about Canada's Climate Competitiveness Plan. Another key topic is President Trump's decision to suspend trade talks with Canada following controversy over Ontario's free-trade advertisement. Next, the hosts reflect on Peter's recent commentary in The Hub, titled “Even if Alberta gets a new pipeline, what's next for the oilsands?” Finally, Jackie talks about her recent appearance on a CBC podcast that explored whether Canada can build pipelines while fighting climate change. She explains why she felt the show's coverage was not balanced and shares her broader concerns about how climate and energy topics are often framed in mainstream Canadian media.Content referenced in this podcast: The Globe and Mail, “Carney's climate vision is to deprioritize emissions targets, focus on economic advantages” (October 14, 2025) The Hub “Peter Tertzakian: Even if Alberta gets a new pipeline, what's next for the oilsands?” (October 4, 2025) CAPP Data Centre, “The Economic Impact of Canadian Oil and Gas,” see slide 23 titled “Canada's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by Industry | 2024” Government of Canada Publications, “Public Opinion Research on the National Adaptation Strategy,” (March 2025), see page 6: “A vast majority of people living in Canada (84%) consider climate change an important issue” Angus Reid Institute, “Pipeline Push: Majority of Canadians, including BC Residents support the idea of a pipeline to the north coast” (October 9, 2025) CBC Ideas Podcast “Can we have new pipelines and curb climate change too?” October 7, 2025Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/ Check us out on social media: X (Twitter): @arcenergyinstLinkedIn: @ARC Energy Research Institute Subscribe to ARC Energy Ideas PodcastApple PodcastsAmazon MusicSpotify 

Oil pipeline politics are once again in high gear in Canada. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is advancing plans for a 1 MMB/d pipeline to the West Coast of British Columbia, while B.C. Premier David Eby remains firmly opposed. At the same time, during a recent trip to Washington, Mark Carney and Donald Trump reportedly discussed the potential revival of the Keystone XL pipeline, which, if completed, would carry Canadian crude south to the United States. To help us unpack the complexities of Canada's pipeline politics, our guest this week is the Honourable Jason Kenney — former federal MP and cabinet minister (first elected in 1997 and re-elected five times), former Premier of Alberta, and now a Special Advisor at Bennett Jones. Here are some of the questions Jackie and Peter asked Jason Kenney: How did you manage to bring together Alberta's fractured conservative movement, and do you think that unity could unravel given today's polarized political climate? What are your thoughts on the “Alberta Next” initiative? What's your assessment of Prime Minister Mark Carney's first six months in office and his efforts, such as Bill C-5, to accelerate infrastructure development? Under the Canadian constitution, can B.C. block an oil pipeline through the province?

Alberta will develop and submit an application to the federal Major Projects Office for a bitumen pipeline to the northwest coast of British Columbia, Alberta Premier Daniella Smith announced on Wednesday. Smith joins Power & Politics to discuss how far Alberta is willing to take the project before a private proponent must take over, and how its possible for a pipeline to proceed amid objections in B.C. Plus, Minister of Artificial Intelligence Evan Solomon denies that Canada is falling behind on AI as he begins a '30-day sprint' to generate ideas for an updated national strategy, asking: 'How do we stay in front?'

Donald Trump's tariff threats and insistence that Canada become the 51st state have put the issue of national sovereignty firmly on the agenda. It seems obvious that one of the clearest routes to protect Canada now and in the future is to reduce our economic dependence on the United States. One idea that's been floated is a plan to build an oil pipeline from Alberta to Atlantic Canada. We speak with Hadrian Mertins-Kirkwood, senior researcher at the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, who says what Canada needs is an east-west electricity grid.

After a summer break, Peter and Jackie are back with their weekly podcast.

Hungary is ready to fight back against Ukraine for attacking it's oil pipeline. at the very moment Zelensky was meeting with Trump in DC. 

Lawmakers in Wisconsin are making a bipartisan push to save two veterans housing and recovery facilities. Environmentalists at a hearing in Ashland made the case against a rerouted oil and gas pipeline. And, a look at how meditation can help some people maintain their sobriety.

This week on the podcast, Jackie and Peter start by talking about Jackie's recent op-ed in the Globe and Mail, titled “Yes, absolutely – Canada needs more oil and gas pipelines to our coasts,” also available on the ARC Energy Research Institute website. Next, Peter and Jackie review the fundamentals of oil prices, the muted effect of the 12-day Iran-Israel war, and why oil prices have been creeping up despite weaker short-term fundamentals. Peter argues that the growing importance of “geoeconomics” - where countries use economic tools to influence foreign affairs - means that predicting oil prices will no longer be just about counting barrels. In the future, one of the most significant factors shaping oil markets will be the geoeconomic strategies of nations, including actions such as sanctions, tariffs, and withholding supply. Finally, Jackie and Peter discuss President Trump's recent letters to numerous countries threatening higher tariffs effective August 1st, including a letter to Canada with 35% tariffs on Canadian goods. Washington also introduced global copper tariffs. This is the last podcast before a break; the podcast will resume at the end of summer. Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/ Check us out on social media: X (Twitter): @arcenergyinstLinkedIn: @ARC Energy Research Institute Subscribe to ARC Energy Ideas PodcastApple PodcastsAmazon MusicSpotify

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is expediting permits for the Line 5 oil pipeline project. It's the first project to be put on a fast track under President Donald Trump's executive order declaring a national energy emergency. The Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa is among a number of tribes in at least three states that oppose the project by Canadian energy company Enbridge, saying it posing significant risk to the environment, most notably the Great Lakes. The existing pipeline runs across Bad River land, but the company's new route bypasses the reservation. We'll get a perspective on the new status of the project and the near-term possibilities. GUESTS David Gover (Pawnee and Choctaw), senior staff attorney with the Native American Rights Fund Jennifer Smith, director of U.S. tribal engagement at Enbridge Stefanie Tsosie (Navajo), senior attorney in the Tribal Partnerships Program at Earthjustice
