It would sure seem foolhardy to run a compressor station on electric without backup generator fired on gas. Not saying compressors running on electricity are impossible, but unlikely. Compressor gas power would have a lot less emissions than does a gas fired power plant or cogen.
With more gas fired generation the gas shortage could be generation sucking up the gas during this cold snap.
We are in a flood of NG in East Texas and NW Lousiana, but the pipelines go north and northeast.
Little doubt all of this blackout/gasout can be pointed to the stupid state and national dems and nobama.
You guys in NM did the right thing electing Pubbie Gov. Only way you could have done worse than richardson was to have elected jimmah carter.
LOL, Jimmah, I would have moved. I just stay impressed with Susana.
