SpaceX received approval to build a 32-mile pipeline connecting its Cape Canaveral facilities to the natural gas network jointly operated by Kinder Morgan and Energy Transfer. The pipeline will reduce SpaceX's reliance on LNG truck deliveries for Starship launches. However, the deal is relatively insignificant for both pipeline operators given their massive scale, with the two companies collectively transporting roughly 70% of U.S. natural gas.
