I am furious about the recent decision by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to approve Williams Transco’s request for an extension of a certificate to build the Northeast Supply Enhancement (NESE) pipeline. As those of us who live in Franklin know, our community would get all of the risk without any reward. The new pipeline would bring dirty fracked methane gas from Pennsylvania through New Jersey to New York.
It would also bring a new 32,000-horsepower methane powered compressor station to Franklin Township that would spew tons of dangerous emissions into the air, affecting our communities. Imagine a new major source of pollution right next to the New Jersey Buddhist Vihara and Meditation Center with the largest outdoor Samadhi Buddha statue in the Western Hemisphere!
