 | Right before the champagne bottles began popping for activists engaged in a grassroots struggle to halt the construction of Williams Companies' prospective Bluegrass Pipeline project — which the company suspended indefinitely in an April 28 press release — Williams had already begun raining on the parade. The pipeline industry giant took out the trash on Friday, April 25, announcing its intentions to open a new Louisiana pipeline named Gulf Trace. If built, Gulf Trace, like the suspended Bluegrass project, will ship gas obtained via hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") to the global market via Cheniere's Sabine Pass LNG export facility. |
