UPDATE: Trans Pecos Pipeline

On June 4th, Information Intelligence brought you news of the Pecos Pipeline. One month and 10 days later the Texas Tribune catches up and tells us about the project. Pecos Pipeline will be:

• A Mexico destined pipeline
• Cutting through Texas’ pride, Big Bend Park
• With no direct Texas public benefit of the oil and gas contained in the pipe
• Its a project uniting cattlemen, private property rights advocates and environmentalists
• It’s like Texas version of the Nebraska and Dakota fights over Keystone XL

Information Intelligence on June 4, 2015:

The Big Bend Conservation Alliance is uniting a diverse, bipartisan group of landowners, ranchers, and environmentalists. Its a group with deep roots, that kept the nuclear storage out of Hudspeth County in the 1990s. 

It is a growing group that does not like what Trans Pecos Pipeline means for Texas landowners, ranchers, environmentalists, and star gazers.

Hot issue- what impact will the pipeline have on the darkness required for the observatory?
