Houston is considered by many to be the "Energy Capital of the World" (also "Oil Capital of the World"), because the city is home to more than 5,000 energy-related firms. The city is a leading domestic and international center for virtually every segment of the oil and gas industry—exploration, production, transmission, marketing, service, supply, offshore drilling, and technology.
Houston dominates U.S. oil and gas exploration and production and is unrivaled in the American energy industry. It is home to more than 3,600 energy-related establishments. Houston is also home to 13 of the nation’s 20 largest natural gas transmission companies, 600 exploration and production firms and more than 170 pipeline operators.

A unit train of pipe for Enbridge's eventual installation of the Sandpiper project screams through Bemidji on a cold October morning. Hard to tell, but it is 34 degrees with a stiff 25mph wind. The train is just getting to speed after dropping off half the train of pipe at Rosby.
The train is the U-NOYCSL and was handed off to the BNSF at Noyes and traveled to Cass Lake where the train terminated. Rosby is between Cass Lake and Bemidji and is used for these projects to unload pipe and occasionally to hold the Cass Lake Local.
I never thought I would see the day a CP SD90 made it through Bemidji. I nearly completely missed this one, but luckily was able to hear them switching at Rosby and got there just minutes before they started pulling east.

The new Kelly Ramsey tower, soon to be named the Enbridge Centre.
Shortly after taking this shot, an older gentleman came up to be and told me all about the height and how a new restaurant would be going into the historical portion of the building.
I didn't tell him how much I already know about this building, or all of the others under construction right now.
A red-winged blackbird perches on an Enbridge Line 9 oil pipeline sign in a Centennial Park wetland, Toronto.
This 639 km pipeline, now owned by Enbridge Pipelines Inc., has passed through southern Ontario, including highly populated Toronto and Mississauga neighborhoods and parkland, since 1976. Originally built to transport light crude oil from Sarnia to Montreal, it was reversed in the late 1990s to pump imported crude westward.
In 2014, Enbridge applied to Canada's National Energy Board to switch the direction of the aging pipeline back, in order to feed Alberta heavy, tar/oil sands crude to eastern refineries. In March 2014, the NEB granted Enbridge approval - despite opponents who argued that the increased output of the thicker and highly toxic bitumen, which the pipeline was not built to carry, puts communities at risk, threatens water supplies and endangers ecologically sensitive areas.
How likely is it that a spill will occur?
Using data from Enbridge’s own reports, the Polaris Institute calculated that 804 spills occurred on Enbridge pipelines between 1999 and 2010, releasing approximately 161,475 barrels of crude oil into the environment.
And that over the last 20 years, there was an average of 250 pipeline incidents a year, spilling more than 2.5 million barrels of hazardous liquids - of which only half was recovered in cleanup efforts - causing over $6.3 billion in property damages.
What could happen if a spill happens?
In 2010, Enbridge's Line 6B pipeline ruptured in Michigan, releasing 843,444 gallons of Alberta crude oil into the Talmadge Creek and Kalamazoo River.
The largest inland oil pipeline spill in U.S. history, it cost over $767M (U.S.) to clean up, 148 homes evacuated after the spill still remain vacant and the EPA estimates as much as 180,000 gallons of oil, which contains toxic arsenic and lead, still lie on the river bottom.
Afterwards, the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board warned that spills will continue until the pipeline industry pursues safety “with the same vigour as they pursue profits.”
Regardless of one's views on the continued use of fossil fuels, or the economic benefits of the oil industry, how would you like to have this pipeline running through your back yard?

A few hundred people gathered on the shore of Gichi-gami (Lake Superior) to protest the proposed Enbridge Line 3 tar sands pipeline.
After a rally and speakers, they marched along the Gichi-gami shore then held a gathering at Lake Place Park had food, art, workshops, and music.
The proposed Line 3 pipeline would transport oil from Canada across Minnesota to Superior, Wisconsin. Protesters say the pipeline would have the climate change impact of 50 coal power plants.
This September, the Minnesota Supreme Court declined to take up challenges by tribal and conservation groups to the pipeline environmental review. The Minnesota Public Utilities Commission is now in the process of finishing the environmental review.

Stop The Enbridge Line 3 Pipeline
By Bill McKibben
The announcement this week from the Canadian company TC Energy that it was pulling the plug on the Keystone XL pipeline project was greeted with jubilation by Indigenous groups, farmers and ranchers, climate scientists and other activists who have spent the last decade fighting its construction.
The question now is whether it will be a one-off victory or a template for action going forward -- as it must, if we’re serious about either climate change or human rights. The next big challenge looms in northern Minnesota, where the Biden administration must soon decide about the Line 3 pipeline being built by the Canadian energy company Enbridge Inc. to replace and expand an aging pipeline.
It’s easy to forget now how unlikely the Keystone fight really was. Indigenous activists and Midwest ranchers along the pipeline route kicked off the opposition. When it went national, 10 years ago this summer, with mass arrests outside the White House, pundits scoffed. More than 90 percent of Capitol Hill “insiders” polled by The National Journal said the company would get its permit.
But the more than 1,200 people who were arrested in that protest helped galvanize a nationwide -- even worldwide -- movement that placed President Barack Obama under unrelenting pressure. Within a few months he’d paused the approval process, and in 2015 he killed the pipeline, deciding that it didn’t meet his climate test.
“America’s now a global leader when it comes to taking serious action to fight climate change,” Mr. Obama said. “And frankly, approving this project would have undercut that global leadership. And that’s the biggest risk we face -- not acting.”
And that’s what puts the Biden administration in an impossible place now. Enbridge wants to replace Line 3, which runs from Canada’s tar sands deposits in Alberta across Minnesota to Superior, Wis., with a pipeline that follows a new route and would carry twice as much crude. It would carry almost as much of the same heavy crude oil as planned for the Keystone XL pipeline -- crude that is among the most carbon-heavy petroleum on the planet.
If Keystone failed the climate test, how could Line 3, with an initial capacity of 760,000 barrels a day, possibly pass? It’s as if the oil industry turned in an essay, got a failing grade, ignored every comment and then turned in the same essay again -- except this time it was in ninth grade, not fourth. It’s not like the climate crisis has somehow improved since 2015 -- it’s obviously gotten far worse. At this point, approving Line 3 would be absurd.
The Keystone announcement is no doubt buoying the spirits of the protesters, led by Indigenous campaigners who are currently occupying the headwaters of the Mississippi River where the Line 3 pipeline must go. They’ve pitched tents along a quarter-mile of wooden boardwalk that the pipeline company built to get its drilling rig to the bank of the river, and now there are prayers and ceremonies underway.
The authorities could try to roust them out -- earlier in the week, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection helicopter hovered above a group of protesters, throwing up a huge cloud of dust, an action that the federal government says is now under investigation. But it’s not just the climate that’s changed in the last few years; it’s also the political climate. In an era when officials talk constantly about coming to terms with the dark parts of American history, I doubt Mr. Biden actually wants to sic the cops on Native elders as they sit at the headwaters of one of America’s most storied rivers, on land that, as Native leaders are pointing out, by treaty should fall under Native control.
Instead, the administration should pause construction on Line 3 and re-examine the river-crossing permits granted by the Army Corps of Engineers. The Department of Justice should stop trying to uphold the last administration’s decisions, which were made by people who thought climate change was a hoax. And the Biden administration should issue standards to make sure that new fossil fuel infrastructure has to pass a climate test -- a test that takes into account America’s theoretical commitment to the Paris accords.
That pact commits us to trying to hold the planet’s temperature increase to as close to 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit as possible. Climate scientists say emissions must fall 45 percent this decade to meet that goal. That’s why the International Energy Agency said last month that new fossil fuel investment must end this year. But the Biden administration also has to take a hard look at any new infrastructure, from liquefied natural gas export terminals on the Oregon coast to gas compressor stations in suburban Boston.
The headwaters of the Mississippi are also, at least for now, the place where Mr. Biden’s climate commitment will be judged. Yes, Republicans will attack him if he blocks the pipeline, and so will some of the unions whose workers are likely to fill many of the 8,600 jobs that Enbridge says would be created over a two-year period. But the polls make clear that the people who elected Mr. Biden expect action on the climate. He can’t go backward; the climate test of 2015 means that Line 3 in 2021 is an anachronism that must be blocked.
What we’ll find out next is whether Keystone lives up to its name -- whether, with its demise, much of the rest of the elaborate architecture of fossil fuel expansion begins to topple. If so, then it will have been a victory not just for a decade but also for the ages.
