- Mountaineer XPress natural gas pipeline project
- will link the Appalachian basin's natural gas supplies with global markets
- $3.2 billion project
- 170-mile pipeline in West Virginia
- will increase natural gas capacity by 2.7 billion cfpd (333,000 boe)
- approval will allow TransCanada to start partial in-service of its Gulf Xpress Project, a network of seven new compressor stations in KY, TN, and MS
- will significantly increase the reach of low-cost, US-produced NG from the Appalachian Basin
- investment in Gulf XPress: $600 million
- Gulf XPress: additional capacity of 530,000 million cfpd (sic) -- I wonder if that isn't supposed to be 530 million (or 530,000 mcfpd)?
In mid-February, TransCanada said it had revised upward its project costs for the Mountaineer XPress project to US$3.2 billion, due to delays in regulatory approvals from FERC and other agencies, higher contractor costs due to unusually high demand for construction resources in the region, inclement weather during construction, and changes in contractor work plans to mitigate delays.Something tells me the delays occurred "under" the previous administration.

From the linked article:
Meteorological winter in Bismarck was the coldest since 1979, according to the National Weather Service.
Meteorologists measure winter from Dec. 1 to the last day of February. The 2018-19 winter had an average temperature of minus 0.4 degrees, said meteorologist Ken Simosko.
Bismarck's meteorological winter was the fifth coldest on record, after 1979, 1887, 1875 and record 1936 — which had an average temperature of minus 11.4 degrees.

Weather is not climate. 2018 was the fourth highest global average temperature in history. https://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/global-temperature/
ReplyDeleteI give up. Unbelievable.
Excuse me if I sound frustrated, I am. I’ve explained this point, and you’ve agreed, numerous times. Why keep beating a dead horse you know is wrong? Why trust Drudge Report over 8,000 peer reviewed data sets?
ReplyDeleteI attended a talk last night without Daniel Kahneman. He’s spent his life researching cognitive bias. Particular insights: individual’s ability to be amazingly confident of subjects there strictly wrong about. People are particular convinced by simple vivid stories. You get maximal concern asking them to save one third world child. Add even her brother and you get a huge decrease. Mention 500,000 kids need help and concern plummets. Our minds can’t wrap our heads around it.
When asked what sort of problem people have the least trouble accepting or understanding he answered: threats that are not immediate. Threats that don’t have a simple story. Hence why climate change is unlikely to be properly addressed. People just aren’t good at these sorts of problems.
Anyway, I’m very frustrated on this point. I may as well go try to talk some sense into anti-vaxers. I’ll avoid clicking the Drudge nonsesne and tune in for some quality we’ll reporting.
If I can’t refrain for repeating again that weather isn’t climate, please ignore me and delete the comment. Keep up the nice work elsewhere, on this point you’re being influenced by wildly wrong headed sources.
