Reseña del libro "For A Pipeline To The Coast (en Inglés)"

In rugged northern Alberta near the oilfields of Fort McMurray, where fortunes are made and lost by pulling resources from the ground, trouble has come. Prevented by protesters and governments from cutting through forbidding mountains and rivers to lay their pipelines, the oil companies will try anything to get their black gold to the coast. To overcome the government obstacles and win this epic conflict for the oil executives, Alex Tremblay boldly proposes a mega-project to build a pipeline deep underground using 3D printing, confident that technology will prevail over human nature. Given just a few months to prove himself, he sets out on a desperate race against time to complete his venture, forging ahead against all hardships in a relentless drive to prove he is right. As he travels the world to raise financing, build an engineering team, and secure the 3D printing technology to complete his project in Canada, Alex will learn what is the true cost of building a pipeline to the coast as he confronts CEOs, government officials and predators, all while trying to win the heart of the woman who is opposed to everything he does. A fast-paced and imaginative work covering all the innovative aspects of designing and 3D printing a pipeline hundreds of metres beneath the surface, from political battles and moral self-questioning to engineering hurdles and financial risks and rewards, this science fiction tale is a gripping read and an eye-opening look at the future.
