Gas Prices Will Be Stable Says State Energy Coordinator
South Carolina energy coordinator Steve Conner says the Federal Power Commission price ceiling increase for interstate natural gas is a positive sign. The FPC set a $142 per thousand cubic feet cap with possible $0.01 quarterly rises, while the old price was $0.52. Conner notes 80 percent of gas costs in SC are transportation, so higher interstate prices should lower per unit shipping costs and enable more gas sales.

Hartwell Management Plan Faces Hearings Over Lake Strip
A House subcommittee tentatively agreed to hold hearings on the Army Corps of Engineers plan for Lake Hartwell on the Savannah River border of South Carolina and Georgia. The proposal would restore a 50 to 100 foot strip around the lake to its natural state, a move opposed by the Lake Hartwell Property Owners Association representing about 758 families. The strip is federally owned but maintained by bordering landowners and the plan would bar private use by future buyers of the federal land.
