Here in Charleston, coal-moving billionaires Kinder Morgan have recently installed sprinklers to keep the dust down at their coal pile on Shipyard Creek, a resignation no doubt directly tied to their hopes to expand. It’s a sign of life, but unfortunately for them, a ship at their terminal is the likely culprit for a recent oil spill. (Scroll back to Nov. 22 and read about it on the Truffula Seed).

Colombia's bloody civil war and violent drug trade have long served to limit foreign investment in a country with some of world's richest untapped natural resources. But Colombia's place in the global economy may be changing, as its business-friendly government eases restrictions on corporate newcomers and with the U.S. now dedicating military aid to protect multinationals' interests in the country. As more global companies are lured by lucrative returns in Colombia, labor and human rights advocates fear a growing corporate presence will cause increased violence in a country that already is home to the murder capital of the world.

Customers ripped off

Sell-recommendations Kinder Morgan Energy Partners (KMP) and Kinder Morgan Management LLC (KMR) offer neither the upside potential nor the downside protection investors need to keep up in an inflationary environment for capital. It hardly matters what seeming progress the partnership reported in its quarterly financial disclosures after the market close on October 18, as long as the statements fail to take full account of the 50% equity dilution by the general partner.

Rock Falls, Illinois

Oct 16, 2007 09:43 AM

Some families in Whiteside County are hoping for a less hectic morning after being evacuated from their homes yesterday because of a ruptured gas pipeline. It happened in the Rock Falls area around 1:20am yesterday morning.

A 20-to-30 foot segment of the Kinder-Morgan pipeline ruptured and created a huge crater in the ground. It appears to be about 20 feet deep. Neighbors say they heard and felt the blast but at first didn't know what it was.

Pee Dee Draft Permit

State health officials gave Santee Cooper a preliminary permit Tuesday for its proposed $1 billion coal-fired power plant in the Pee Dee, a move that drew criticism from environmental groups.

The draft permit is just one of many regulatory hurdles Santee Cooper must clear before construction on the plant begins. The state-owned utility says it needs a new electrical generator by 2012, or coastal areas could face a serious electricity shortage.

A gas line apparently ruptured off Galletti Way in Reno on Tuesday night, spilling about 500 gallons of jet fuel.

No injuries were reported.

Officials are not sure what caused the apparent rupture.

As a precaution, about 15 people were evacuated from a nearby concrete plant.

Crews shut the line down and created dirt dams, according to reports from the scene.

Officials late Tuesday did not think the fuel would enter storm drains or the Truckee River.
