"Drivers may encounter single- lane closures and brief delays on Hoosier Pass over the next several weeks as Colorado Natural Gas completes a project to extend gas systems to Park County.
Crews are installing a pipeline that will make natural gas services available to residents and businesses in Park County, primarily in the towns of Fairplay and Alma.
“The expansion will not affect CNG's current customers within Summit County, as they are already being served with natural gas,” engineering manager for Summit Utilities, Inc., the parent company for CNG, Leif Lindahl stated in a recent email to the Summit Daily. “This project will benefit potential customers within Park County by providing them an economical and safe energy alternative, one that is regulated by the Colorado Public Utilities Commission.”
The service expansion work between Carroll Lane and the top of the pass on Highway 9 got under way May 1 and is set to continue on the Summit County side and along the pass through July 1. The entire project is scheduled to wrap up by November, according to representatives from Colorado Natural Gas.
The private utility is not currently releasing information on the cost of the project, which is to be completed by contractor Tetra Tech, Inc....." (Read more? Click title)

SandBoxBlogs: Red State "Tax Code Tweak Might Make CNG for Vehicles More Available "
'Steve Maley':
"Rep. William Cassidy (R-LA) common-sense approach to increasing the role of natural gas as a vehicle fuel, without the grandiose involvement of the Federal government. Unlike the Pickens Plan, this plan does not rely on massive government subsidies or direct payments for vehicle conversion. Instead, it would change the definition of “independent producer” in the tax code, to get around their current prohibition from making retail sales exceeding $5 million per year....." (Read more?

SandBox Comments: Aspen Daily News "RFTA board split over policy statement on gas exploration"
(See related story here and here)
It's about the money. RFTA's concern is that they're going to upset very powerful elected commissioners and concilmen who give them handout and bailout money without blinking an eye.
"There's always more money for RFTA" is a local mantra. Never mind that our homeless, hungry, unemployed populations are at record high levels. 'Nothing to be concerned about' while our tourism sales stay flat. "There's always more money for RFTA".
The call for the Roaring Fork Transit Authority to become self-sustaining is one that has been shouted out by taxpayers for years.
Taxpayers who are reading this spin out of RFTA this morning, as RFTA attempts to appease EnCana so they can grab up the $365,000 EnCana is offering in a grant towards CNG busses, while at the same time doing the shuck and jive so that Pitkin County commissioners and Aspen City Council stay happy.
