Creating competition in domestic gas transportation has altered the way the industry invests in transportation infrastructure, which is needed to transport all forms of gas supply, including LNG, around the country. In the near term, it has meant under-investment and delayed investment in needed infrastructure. For example, delays in the construction of pipelines or "just-in-time" construction occurs because local distribution companies are under pressure from the public utility commissions that provide oversight and sometimes from market competition created by deregulat ...
