Another Open House On Pipeline

The people in Kings County have a chance to ask questions about the proposed Energy East pipeline tomorrow, where another open house is being held. 

This one will be taking place from 4 to 8 in Hampton at St. Alphonsus Hall on Church Street. 

Tim Vickers of the Atlantic Coastal Action Programme tells Tide News we still don't know a lot, and there are a lot of unanswered questions.
 

He goes on to say there are also concerns about what effect, if any, a pipeline would have on water crossings and will it offset any of the rail traffic with oil coming into the city, reduce the amount of tanker traffic in the Bay of Fundy and how much of the Alberta crude will be refined in Saint John or is most of it being shipped elsewhere for refining.
