Mark Mathis, director/producer of the documentary spOILed, has written an opinion piece in the Albuquerque Journal in which he calls for state governments to create a market-driven infrastructure for natural gas transportation. He says the federal government is hopelessly dysfunctional.
As a specific example of what is needed, he cited Aztec Well Service in New Mexico, which wants to convert its entire fleet and drilling rigs to natural gas. To do that, the Gas Company Of New Mexico will need to build a 3½ mile pipeline at a cost of $620,000 to $850,000. Mr. Mathis said the pipeline should be financed by the gas company's customers through its rates. He said the resulting boost to the state's economy will pay the money back one hundredfold.
Here's a link to the trailer for Mr. Mathis' documentary, spOILed.
