SpaceX #11 - CONFIRMED - Company inquired about installing a natural gas pipeline through Federal lands

Not disclosed on Environmental Assessment

Elon Musk’s Rocket Company consulted with contractors and government employees about installing a new “Rocket Fuel” Pipeline.

As suggested in Part 3 of my ongoing series, a pipeline is needed to fuel SpaceX's proposed industrial facility.

They inquired multiple times about the right of way in the below image:

The existing 4 inch pipe in the ground was “permanently abandoned” in 2016 according to Texas RRC documents, meaning it can never be returned to service, per DOT rules.

A pipe that moves 50 million scf/day would need to be pressurized and would be at minimum 10 inches in diameter.

That volume is roughly the amount of wet/field natural gas needed to power the proposed 250 MW power station.

I have confirmed SpaceX’s inquiries about a natural gas pipeline on this tract with multiple sources.

The pipeline is not mentioned once in the Programmatic Environmental Assessment released last month, which is all but certainly a cut and dry violation of NEPA.

Still 100% true. SpaceX asked about a new gas pipeline through federal land Not disclosed in PEA That's a felony

I'm not a reporter but I have some #BREAKING news about @SpaceX: Can confirm that @SpaceX employees asked Fish and Wildlife about an existing pipeline right of way going into STARBASE There's a rusting 4 inch pipe that was abandoned in 2016 (eg no longer a pipeline)

ESG Hound @ESGhound

Have confirmed this fact with not one, not 2, but 3 sources They're telling people it's going to be a rocket fuel pipeline This is greenwashing, this is fraud, and this is the biggest environmental disclosure crime in decades I'm coming for you @elonmusk
