Kinder Morgan (NYSE: KMI) has been on a mission over the past year to strengthen its financial situation so it can return more cash to investors. One way the company has been accelerating that process is by joint venturing key growth projects to bring in cash for debt reduction and offload a portion of future capital expenses to the partner. The company took another step in that direction this week after securing a partner for a part of its Elba Liquefaction Project near Savannah, Georgia.
