Increased offer
The story points to what is purely a business decision. After all, why should a company pay more for something when it can pay less? Part of that 101 course, if you will. In Nebraska, the firm that wants to push a pipeline south from Alberta to the refineries in the deep south has upped their offer to landowners. By 700%. And that’s the figure that we should retain. The amount of money to be made in this gamble is enormous. Enough to push the bean counters out of their parsimony. And this is probably a reasonable figure, which means that the return on investment is much higher than most of us realize.
