Controversial Georgia Pipeline Project Suspended

A controversial pipeline proposed for the Georgia coast is now on hold.

The Palmetto Pipeline would have carried fuel from South Carolina, along the Savannah River and down the coast to Jacksonville, Florida.

The energy company Kinder Morgan wanted to use eminent domain to build the pipeline, but it faced powerful opposition in its bid to take private property, and the state of Georgia denied the eminent domain request.
