The Atlanta-Journal Constitution challenges an assertion made by Georgia House Speaker Mark Burkhalter that AGL’s proposed pipeline from Southern LNG’s Elba Island import terminal would help reduce the price of natural gas in Georgia by bringing more supply into the state. In an editorial published today, the paper says the price of natural gas in Georgia does not depend on the amount of pipeline infrastructure in the state, but on conditions “in a regional, national or even international marketplace in which Georgia has little or no impact.” [Free registration necessary]
