House kills coal slurry pipeline bill in Congress
The House defeated the coal slurry pipeline bill 246-161, ending a hard fought push by Slurry Pipeline Transport Association. Railroads opposed the plan citing revenue loss and eminent domain concerns, while backers argued price competition and cross state links from Wyoming and Colorado to Texas and the Northwest. Colorado and Wyoming congressmen led opposition over water use for agriculture and development.
