Update 2018-02-08: FERC cry of wolf delays mandate from DC Circuit Court
Instead of answering Sabal Trail’s
Friday cry of wolf by issuing new certificates yesterday,
FERC instead took that cry to the DC Circuit Court,
asking for a delay of today’s issue of a mandate.
FERC did not issue new certificates yesterday,
and the Court did not issue a mandate today.
Of course, today was merely the first day the Court
could have issued a mandate, so we’ll see.
Don’t listen to FERC and Sabal Trail’s cries of wolf, Court!
What’s really eating their pipelines is solar and wind power
taking over the market.
For
the fourth year running, renewable energy has produced more
new U.S. energy than natural gas,
according to
FERC’s own
Office of Energy Projects Energy Infrastructure Update For December 2017.
Four years means ever since the Sabal Trail pipeline was first announced in 2013.
Those are the wolves after those poor pipeline Applicants: solar and wind power.

More local resolutions passed elsewhere in the state, but that ain’t bad for the Suwannee River Basin.
