DOE Reports Gives Full-Throated Support for Appl. NGL Storage Hub

Continuing on the topic of the NGL storage hub that is today's lead story (see Appalachian NGL Storage Hub Enters Phase 2 - Built in 2-3 Years?), a number of politicians previously lobbied the U.S. Department of Energy to study the issue of if, and where, a natural gas liquids (NGL) storage hub should be located. Namely, West Virginia's two U.S. Senators, Shelly Moore Capito and Joe Manchin, were behind the request for a DOE study (see WV’s US Senators Lead the Charge to Build $10B NGL Storage Hub). The hope was/is that DOE would find justification (and throw government backing) behind a proposed $10 billion NGL storage hub project. Yesterday the DOE issued their report to Congress, titled "Ethane Storage and Distribution Hub in the United States" (full copy below). Here's something really cool for us at MDN HQ: Marcellus Drilling News is referenced (quoted) twice in the report!
