GAS ENERGY TRANSPORT AND DISTRIBUTION: PIPELINE OR WIRE

Planning of a rational system of energy supply must be based on an end use analysis to decide in which form and amount the energy should be distributed. In this process a large number of factors must be taken into consideration: resource availability, prices, overall efficiency, local and global environmental effects, safety, convenience, etc. The energy needs in general consumption and most industries are best covered by electricity. A reconstruction of a gas grid for local distribution would be uneconomical and anachronistic. Strong arguments favor location of the gas power plants near the source and energy distribution through the electric trunk line system.
