All gassed up, and nowhere to go...

A day after the European Commission agreed to look into the LNG project, a story of great significance to Welsh campaigners appeared on BBC Online.

The UK government decided to throw out National Grid's application to build a Pressure Reduction Installation at Corse, near Tirley. This installation marks the end of Phase 2 of the pipeline project.

And while the timing of this decision is curious enough, it's significance is clear: National Grid have a pipeline - but nowhere to run it to. The UK government have delivered a vote of no confidence in a key part of the project.

Perceptive readers with their critical faculties intact may ask a key question at this point: haven't the BBC been reporting the Grid's line that this pipeline project is complete?

Maybe the BBC were aware of this small conundrum when they decided to tuck this small nugget of info away in the "South-West" section of the BBC England website, where the 90% of those affected by the pipeline would be unlikely to see it...tut tut.
