This news may bode well for both Tortoise Index Solutions LLC and TC Energy moving forward into next year particularly after it disclosed plans to proceed with constructing Keystone XL oil pipeline despite political headwinds experienced previously. The pipeline was given approval on March 29th 2021. Without a doubt, an investment in TC Energy is a promising move for those looking to make strong plays in the energy infrastructure industry.
