Gas fears as Southwest states sell gas to pipelines
Harrington Wimberly a member of the Federal Power Commission says producers overstate reserves by feeding interstate pipelines to Eastern and Northern markets. The six Southwest states produce four to five and a half trillion cubic feet yearly, over three quarters of national output. He warns that pipelines drain about three trillion cubic feet annually, risking future industrial growth as more gas is contracted for 20 years. Arkansas officials share the concern, noting Arkansas lacks coal and depletion could halt regional industry.
