The United States and Canada are the world's greatest trading partners and energy comprises a major portion of that trade. As North America transitions to cleaner energy, the relationship that started with oil and gas pipelines in the 1950s becomes even more critical with transmission lines carrying electricity produced by renewable resources. The infrastructure links between the two countries result from a complicated story of national politics, unusual US federal permitting legislation, and special interest groups. Three case studies illustrate the impacts of those drivers of energy infrastructure routes and provide useful context for potential future disputes as North America transitions to clean energy resources.
