<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi Jay,<BR>
<BR>
Focusing on transport rather then the Tar Sands, there is already a well established "high and wide" U.S. route from Houston and also one in Canada from a port in Hudson Bay. Imperial Oil does not need to tear up American highways at all.<BR>
<BR>
For the 207 loads that are already in Lewiston or will land in Vancouver, Big Oil will now pay (or have already paid) $500,000 per module to cut them in half. The South Koreans built them for $1.2 million each. This extra money could have easily paid for higher ocean cargo fees, plus the modules would already be in Alberta saving the huge expense in project delays.<BR>
<BR>
I'm sure Imperial Oil is regretting the day that they discovered the Port of Lewiston and the wilderness highway leading in Montana. The Imperial Oil spokesman admitted at much in the second Moscow hearing.<BR>

Seemed much closer to the truth the first time.<BR>

I'd be curious what the reaction would be if a megaload materialized that was 200,000 pounds, 14 feet wide, and was filled to the brim with rabid liberal protesters on their way to Canada to voice their displeasure.<BR>
<BR>
Does anybody know where I can fund a truckload of rabid liberals in Idaho? I've been looking for them.<BR>
