The Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline a pipeline that is supposed to run from Alberta to Kitimat, BC. With the proposal been out for years, getting it approved has been a hassle.  A blog post on “Pipe Up Against Enbridge” compares the different geography around Kitimat that the one pipelines built in Europe by talking about a post that Enbridge made about the Kitimat port, saying that it is similar to various European Ports.  One of the biggest problems was that the Kitimat port is five times longer than any other of the ports. The author of the blog, Dave Shannon says “The chance of an accident is higher in inside waters than on the open ocean. The longer the approach, the greater the risk of an accident.”

I think that the Enbridge Northern Pipeline is something that has a positive affect to British Columbia and even Canada’s economy. It would make jobs for thousands of people . But if something goes wrong it can cause a lot of environmental damage. If the Enbridge pipeline sets up safety closures, and has a proper plan to protect the environment the pipeline should be made. The blog shows a good point on having a long opening than other  locations, but if Enbridge can safely manage though pipelines they can possibly have port their.
