Energy Transfer, a major pipeline firm that threatened to terminate natural gas service to five Vistra Corp. gas-fired power plants in Texas next week as part of a $ 21.3 million penalty payment standoff, has relaxed its ultimatum, though the underlying dispute continues.

Grupo Carso is owned by Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim. He said Tuesday that the agreement will give Mexico access to cheap natural gas, some of which can be used to further the development of natural gas-fueled vehicles in Mexico.
“This will allow us to substitute diesel and gasoline, which are not only more expensive but more polluting,” Slim said.…
