Hurricanes Katerina and Rita hit U.S. Gulf Coast Foothills Pipe Lines built for gas exports to California and the mid-western U.S. Late 1998: Northern Border/TCPL expansion 2000: Alliance Pipeline 1956: TransCanada Pipelines built to take Alberta gas to central Canada and the U.S. after debate over its charter in Parliament PGT expansion Regulated gas price tied to oil prices. Surplus built up Surplus gas drives down prices Price deregulation Arbitration awards price increase Gas prices as a by-product of oil production. Price less than replacement cost Figure 8.

Late 1990’s – mine closures and reduced coal exports due to depressed coal prices 1970’s – increase in coal-fired electric generation 1952 – Beginning of change to diesel-electric trains 1950’s – Crude oil and natural gas replace coal as energy source of choice Late1960’s – Beginning of exports to Japan for steel industry 1898 – Expansion of railway network (coal and oil fired steam engines) and growth of population 1960 – Steam rail era ends Coal remained “King Coal” until huge reservoirs of crude oil and natural gas were discovered Figure 10.
