Make a Call Monday to #StopSpectra

Don't forget to make a call every Monday!

Right now, Spectra Energy is building the AIM Pipeline, PUTTING PIPES IN THE GROUND, of a dangerous, high-pressure gas pipeline that would pose a danger to our communities and lock us into further dependence on fossil fuels. 

Tell your senators - we need you to DEMAND that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission issue a stop work order for the AIM pipeline, and we need YOU to take a public stand against the pipeline via a joint press conference in DC with your senate colleagues. Our lives are on the line!

 

Suggested script:

THANK YOU Senator Warren/Markey for writing to FERC and urging them to conduct an independent EIS on Atlantic Bridge and to answer questions regarding the conflict of interest between NRG (contractor that worked on the EA) and Spectra on June 9th, 2016.

As you know Spectra AIM, the first leg of this illegally segmented project that connects to Atlantic Bridge, is underway in NYS against the will of Governor Cuomo, multiple NY State agencies and Senators Schumer and Gillibrand. We request that you respond to our letter hand-delivered to your office on June 13, 2016, with your Senator colleagues in NY, RI, CT who also have Spectra AIM Pipeline destruction progressing against legislators, local resolutions and strong community opposition, to hold a national press conference in Washington, DC, demanding FERC issue a “Stop Work Order” to the AIM pipeline. Our lives are on the line.

Comment on the PennEast EIS thru 9/5

Comment on the PennEast EIS thru 9/5

PennEast is a project that will actually connect to the Algonquin line (the Spectra line that is here in New England - they cut up all the segments across the country into different names).

So if you feel so inclined to make a quick comment on their EIS comment period within the next 45 days, the info to do so is at this attached group. PennEast will help supply the additional capacity and infrastructure which will help Access Northeast move forward.

FERC Chairman Responds to Sen. Markey's Letter

Senators Markey and Warren recently wrote a letter to FERC urging them to issue an independent EIS for Atlantic Bridge, after it was found that there was a conflict of interest with the contractor that completed the Environmental Assessment.

Chairman Norman Bay has responded to Senator Markey. His response is below. Not surprisingly, he dismisses the Senator's concern.
