AGLC blasted Scana for attempting to enmesh in the capacity fray an AGLC deal to buy out connections to the Southern Natural Gas system.

In his opening volley to the Senate debate on energy legislation, Sen. Frank Murkowski (R-AK) said Senate Majority Tom Daschle (D-SD) will be entirely to blame if controversial proposals to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) to oil and natural gas drilling go up in flames.

The war of words between the ANR Pipeline and Guardian PipelineLLC over the proposed Guardian line into southeastern Wisconsinraged on this week, bearing all the earmarks of theHatfields-and-McCoys’ feud – minus the rifles.
