TGIF- Transmountain expansion, new numbers:

The Transmountain expansion project has some new financial and operative numbers that they posted as of February 18th 2022.The cost of the expansion is now going to be 21 billion dollars. The completion date is for the third quarter of 2023. The old completion date before covid and the floods and the wildfires was to be December 2022.

Financing costs are up, this may be due to the fact that they have to borrow more money and not get funded by the government as the finance Minister has cut the tap off. We can expect a little leaner mindset going forward to completion.

“this project is being built the right way”

Transmountain today.

Good luck

There is a portion of a Falcon 9 rocket going to collide with the moon. A booster from a Falcon 9 is the story now however there is opinions that it is a piece of another countries program. This brings the private and government responsibility tension into view as Space X is a private contractor. who is the bylaw officer for space waste ? Who can dump where,and who is for liable for clean up? Salvage rights?
