Business consultant Federico Martinez writes in today's Hoy that the government should consider following in Argentina and Brazil's footsteps and trucking natural gas instead of building the proposed US$25 million pipeline from Andres, Boca Chica to San Pedro de Macoris, to be paid by Dominican taxpayer money. The pipeline would be part of the plan to convert the Cogentrix power plant to natural gas. At present, its operation with diesel is not cost-effective. Martinez also suggests, as a second option, if the government decides to go ahead with the pipeline, to include pipes that allow residential, commercial and industrial connections along the 50-kilometer stretch. The pipeline would pass in front of all the hotels in Juan Dolio and major industries in San Pedro (sugar mill, rum distillery, other power plants, cement factory, etc).
