Ohio Chamber of Commerce Endorses NEXUS Gas Pipeline Project
People in Ohio continue to choose sides in the debate over whether to build the NEXUS Gas Transmission pipeline, a $1.5-$2.0 billion natural gas pipeline that will carry Utica and Marcellus Shale gas spanning 11 counties in Ohio, 3 counties in Michigan, and eventually connect to the Dawn Energy Hub in Canada. NEXUS is a joint venture between Detroit-based DTE Energy and Houston-based Spectra Energy. Plenty of wackos have come out of the woodwork to oppose it (see Medina County, OH Antis Trot Out Home Rule Ballot Measure and NEXUS Pipeline Files Draft Reports w/FERC, Rejects CORNy Re-Route). Plenty of people have also endorsed the project. The latest power-house group to endorse the NEXUS is the Ohio Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber points out the NEXUS project will not only be a super stimulant for Ohio’s economy and create jobs, it will also save consumers money on their gas and electric bills…

We won’t harp yet again about how we feel about paying local (very worthy) groups and organizations money to support your pipeline project BEFORE it’s approved and built (cough *borderline sleazy* cough).

A spoonful of $ugar to help the Atlantic Sunrise Pipeline medicine go down–in a most delightful way. (Note that we think the Atlantic Sunrise is a great project and worthy on its own, without need for corporate bribes to hush up local opposition.) Here’s the details of which projects in PA got funded, and where…
MDN invites you to join us in attending RBN Energy’s “State of the Energy Markets” one-day event in New York City on July 23. Before you hurry to say “yes,” a few caveats. It costs money (a lot of it). It’s aimed at executives working in the industry, as well as traders and investors. If that describes you (and we know that many of you read MDN), you may be interested in attending. We guarantee it will be a great event. Rusty Braziel & company will provide an overview of the key issues facing natural gas, NGLs and the crude oil market. They will explain how the markets for those three commodities interact and affect each other. They will also take a look at prices, where they may be heading, and how infrastructure affects price. If you are really “into energy” as we are, this is a must attend event. Details are below, along with a link to register…
Landmen for Sunoco Logistics have begun knocking on doors and talking to residents in nine municipalities in Chester County and six in Delaware County (Philadelphia area) to sign easements to allow the Mariner East 2 pipeline to be built through their property. Sunoco wants to begin construction in early 2016. Meetings have cropped up for landowners to hear information about the project, and get information about what their rights are and what terms they should seek before signing an easement. What is Sunoco offering in the way of compensation? It varies from landowner to landowner, depending on where the land is located and how much land they must cross. We do know how much the company offered one resident, in Uwchlan Township (Chester County)…
