Oil Pipeline Disputes Raise Tensions Between US and Canada
A story in the Associated Press about growing tensions over a Great Lakes oil pipeline quotes RFF Fellow Daniel Raimi.
"Debate over Line 5 and other pipelines illustrates the conflicting priorities for two countries that have pledged to reduce fossil fuel emissions but still burn lots of oil, said Daniel Raimi, a fellow at Resources for the Future, a Washington, D.C., policy institute.
'They don’t want to disrupt a crucial piece of infrastructure and cause higher energy prices for consumers,' Raimi said. 'It’s a difficult needle to thread.'"
