If opponents of Kinder Morgan’s $3.3 billion pipeline project have their way, federal regulators will throw out its application to build the 412-mile line.

Corporate energy managers have a stake in this debate. Their job in part is to find access to fuels that burn cleaner and that are less expensive than the alternatives. The natural gas infrastructure in the Northeast is congested and the additional capacity would make room for an expected future supply.
