Great first program, J.J. Enbridge is an important leader in “energy evolution”, especially in communications and policy making. The practical environmental and good economics of energy couldn’t be more important to the planet and the 4 billion people still living energy poverty. Keep up the great work.
I will take oil and gas developed here in the US over any other country in the world. As a wife to an environmental engineer for a midstream company, I trust our safety and environmental regulations over any other county. Three changes I would like to see…. Mandatory capture of gas in place of flaring. I understand it isn’t profitable but since it’s a usable product it should be captured as part of the cost of doing business. We need to increase our refining capacity of sweet crude. Most of our plants are configured to process heavy crude which is what we produced prior to fracking. The regulations in place make it extremely difficult to change existing plants or build new ones. So we are currently shipping out our oil and importing oil to be refined here. It makes no sense. Finally, no contract should be made that does not include capping wells that are no longer producing. It may not be as important as the previous 2 but closing the loop makes sense.

Give them solar panels to stop burning wood not gas pipelines :-)
