"The 3-foot-wide Bridger Pipeline Expansion would carry up to 550,000 barrels of oil a day from the Canadian border with Montana down through eastern Montana and Wyoming, where it would link with another pipeline."
"Environmentalists hope to stop the project over worries that the pipeline could break and spill. At peak volume, the 650-mile pipeline would move two-thirds as much oil as the better-known Keystone XL pipeline."
"Slightly different from the last administration. They wouldn't sign a pipeline deal. And we have pipelines going up,"
The Bridger Pipeline Expansion will transport up to 550,000 barrels of oil daily from Canada to the U.S. for export and refining. The 650-mile pipeline, which is expected to begin construction next year, requires additional environmental approvals. Environmentalists are concerned about potential spills. Unlike the canceled Keystone XL pipeline, the Bridger project will not cross Native American reservations and will primarily utilize existing pipeline corridors. The project has drawn attention due to its scale and the political context surrounding oil pipeline approvals.
