CO2 pipeline going through Mountainair , NM [View all]

Kinder Morgan is in the planning stages of a CO2 pipeline to bring Co2 from 2700 ft underground from the St. Johns Fields in Arizona - through NM - to a distribution center in west texas (for fracking.) This is dense phase CO 2 with a psi of 2100 . A dangerous pipeline because of the pressure and, of course, because co2 is a asphyxiant.

We in the Abo/Mountainair community are fighting it big time esp. me as one possible route would be going about 10 feet from my house.

I think KM thought because we are a small rural town in the middle of NM, that we were country bumpkins. This is an old ranching town but now has many retired intelligent artists and professionals. I must say we are putting up a kick ass fight. We started a Google group, -"Resistiendo- Resist the Pipeline" if any other DU'ers are effected. This pipeline will be going thru Quemado, Roswell, Belen, Mountainair/ABo, Estancia, Los Lunas and I'm not quite sure where else.
