Anti-Fossil Fuel NGOs Gear Up to Oppose Elba Pipe in South Carolina

In April, MDN told you about a new greenfield expansion of Kinder Morgan’s Elba Express pipeline into South Carolina to serve growing demand for natural gas in the state (see KM Pipes Update: Expand Elba to SC; SSE4 Survey Work Done). The $431 million Elba Express Bridge project is designed to provide 325 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) of firm transportation capacity to a new gas-fired power plant in Colleton County, SC (see SC PSC Approves Gas-Fired Power Plant Proposed for Edisto River). Earlier this month, we reported that letters have been sent to 185 landowners in South Carolina along the proposed route, requesting permission to survey their land for the project (see SC Landowners Receive Notice of Survey Work for Elba Express Pipe). It took a while, but with this project now getting real, anti-fossil fuel Big Green NGOs are flooding the zone with lies about the pipeline, stirring up the locals in the process.
