Happy Earth Day! Since ... is away I'm sending this update to you. At our next node meeting on May 3rd, we can discuss the recent Kinder Morgan announcement of the NED (Northeast Direct) pipeline suspension. However, since KM has not withdrawn their application from FERC (Federal Energy Regulatory Commission), that pipeline is still in play and, if reconfigured, could be revived. We also still face (1) a $5-8 Billion tax/tariff for any new gas infrastructure, (2) all the climate and safety risks of Spectra and KM pipelines, compressor stations, etc. to transport gas through our region primarily for export and (3) insufficient support from elected officials for green energy strategies such as solar, wind, divestment and carbon pricing.
So, to continue to work together to move away from fossil fuels towards a better clean energy future, below is our upcoming schedule. Events in bold are sponsored by our node...& will need your support!
· Sat. 4/23 (9-2) W. Roxbury service and NVDA (nonviolent direct action) to stop Spectra (still 2 open spaces for carpool; call me 978/979-3686)
