Energy east was always the #4 of the proposed four pipelines. 

Too expensive and too costly for the oil companies ($16.00 per barrel from Alberta to New Brunswick in a low oil/world oil glut scenario). Put it this way, how many oil companies committed to Energy east? None. How many have signed up to Keystone? None.

Unless the price of oil rises significantly, no matter what pipeline may be proposed, no matter where it is, no matter who is for or against, a simple economics reality will emerge ;

The $$$$ expenditure is just not worth it at this time.
