***CORRECTION*** Day 30

30 Days to Stop the Pipeline

Call Governor Cuomo at 518-474-8390

Day 30

Today’s Topic: New York and New England do not need the “Constitution” pipeline.

Suggested Talking Points:

  • The Constitution Pipeline Company has stated repeatedly to the press and the public that its proposed fracked-gas pipeline is necessary to deliver “much-needed natural gas” to New York City and New England. However, since 2012, the company has told its investors that it is an “opportunity for export.”
  • Indeed, the Constitution pipeline would move shale gas from Pennsylvania to Wright, New York, where it would interconnect with the Iroquois and Tennessee Gas Pipelines. From Wright, there is no way to transport any additional gas to NYC or New England because the Iroquois and Tennessee pipelines are already filled to capacity at times of greatest demand.
  • Enter the SoNo Project.” Instead of transporting gas from Canada to the United States, Iroquois would “reverse the flow” to transport gas from New York to Canada. From there it could be exported overseas. (Natural gas sells in European and Asian markets for two to five times the price in the US.)
  • The amount of gas that Constitution plans to transport to Wright, NY (650,000 dekatherms/day), is the exact amount that Iroquois’ SoNo project would deliver to Canada.
  • Most certainly, the exportation of gas for corporate profit does not warrant taking New Yorkers’ land through eminent domain, cutting down 700,000 trees, or blasting and digging through countless streams and hillsides, which would surely contaminate New York’s famously clean water.
  • I’m calling on the governor and the DEC to STOP the Constitution Pipeline. Deny the 401 water quality certificate.

A Quick Snapshot

This 30-inch-diameter, 124-mile-long high-pressure pipeline would carry fracked gas from Pennsylvania, through the forests, farms, fields and front yards of New York residents, and on to Canada for export.

The New York Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) can stop this Un-Constitutional Pipeline by DENYING the necessary permits.
