From Capital New York.[/caption]Scott Waldman in Capital New York reports on an application for a 250-mile Northeast Expansion pipeline in the planning stages to ship natural gas fracked in other states through Albany, Rensselaer, and Columbia counties and into New England. The application would need to be filed, Waldman writes, "with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, which would have oversight of the project, said Richard Wheatley, a spokesman for Kinder Morgan, the company that has proposed the pipeline. Kinder Morgan has already begun approaching landowners in Massachusetts and will soon do so in New York, Wheatley said." The proposal (see Capital New York's image above) would connect to a pipeline in Schoharie County and continue to Berkshire County in Massachusetts. The cost for the project could exceed $2.5 billion, according to Waldman's story. Read the full story in Capital New York.
