If approved, the new transmission line is scheduled to begin service in late 2011. The two lines would have a price tag of between $600 million US to $700 million US if both are built.
In June, Calgary-based oil shipper Enbridge Inc. and U.S. giant ExxonMobil Pipelines Co. said they were looking to build a pipeline to ship Canadian oilsands crude from Illinois to Texas.

[Does anyone else think it's hilarious that a company called TransCanada is building pipelines to supply the United States?? Instead of pipelines to supply (for example) the Atlantic region of Canada? -- NSay] [Proofreader's note: this article was edited for spelling and typos on August 7, 2007]
Stumble It!
It's not at all funny, but I know what you mean. Talk about a slap in the face! What's Canada going to do when its oil & gas runs dry? Already the prices are out to lunch, while energy companies here in Canada are more than happy to "educate" the public on how to save energy, as if they're doing us a favor when in reality they want us to use less energy so that they can sell more of it outside of the country.
We'll have a really nice pipeline to ship water in.
