There’s a huge, mostly invisible web of pipelines crisscrossing the country that make it possible for our stoves to light and our cars to turn on. Those pipelines run from oil and gas producing regions to refineries and processing plants, crossing miles of private property along the way.

The federal government might not be able to buy a tract of land within Grand Teton National Park, as it had planned to do.
An Interior Department spokesman says the agency may not be able to allocate funding to buy the land from Wyoming.
Wyoming has owned the roughly two square miles of land since statehood. The parcels are surrounded by park land but aren't formally part of Grand Teton.
Two years ago, Wyoming's governor threatened to sell the land at auction. The threat prodded Interior officials to agree to buy the land for $107 million.

The town of Jackson is looking to buy a piece of property from the U.S. Forest Service.
