Is the rest of Canada willing to take the steps needed though? (i) Noise reduction on all vessels (not just tankers). (ii) Habitat protection. (iii) Real investment in spill response. (iv) Real time monitoring of terminal operations (there are constant small leaks, these accumulate). (v) Monitoring of leaks by all vessels. (vi) Requiring pleasure vessels to use holding tanks. (vii) Investment in infrastructure that will reduce COx emissions. This is a lot of money. Kinder Morgan and Alberta have no intention of covering any of these costs. Who will? The people of BC of course. If the current government has the courage to actually do something for the economy and environment. Doubtful. Our children will pay the costs. Long-term environmental degradation, loss of species, loss of habitat, the risk of environmental destruction, all for no economic benefit to BC.
