PSC Moves to Speed Propane Delivery in South Carolina
The South Carolina Public Service Commission ordered interstate truckers to guarantee propane transport to utilities and industries amid fuel shortages and production slowdowns. Laurens Glass Co laid off 155 of 600 workers as natural gas supplies were cut off, while 3M Ceramic Products faced reduced output awaiting propane. Clinton Newberry Gas Authority warned commercial customers of possible cutoff if residential use does not drop, and schools seek emergency power and longer terms to maintain academics. USC facilities reduced thermostat settings to 60F day and 50-55F night.
