Spire Asks FERC for Emergency Cert. to Keep St. Louis Pipe Online

In June MDN brought you the news that three Democrat judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit overturned a Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) approval for a long-completed and flowing natural gas pipeline in the St. Louis area that flows Marcellus/Utica gas to residents, businesses, and electric generating plants throughout the region (see Fed Court Overturns Marcellus to St. Louis Pipe – Shutdown Coming?). The decision means the Spire STL pipeline must shut down and stop operating--which is truly nuts. Spire STL connects to and flows Marcellus/Utica gas from the Rockies Express (REX) pipeline to the St. Louis area. On Monday the pipeline's parent company, Spire, filed a request with FERC (full copy below) for an emergency certificate to keep the Spire STL pipeline operating.
