description A four-year long boom in powerplant construction, consisting almost entirely of natural gas-fired turbines, has largely blunted fears of widespread US electricity shortages. But federal energy officials now worry that the West's gas pipeline system may not be able to meet growing demand. A Federal Energy Regulatory Commission report concludes that the energy infrastructure in the West is insufficient relative to overall energy demand, and that additional infrastructure expansions are needed to support a competitive market.
