EANY in Inside Climate News: A New York Gas Pipeline Is Closer to Construction, Despite Concerns From Lawmakers, Environmentalists

November 7, 2025 – New York regulators on Friday approved a water-quality permit for a long-contested pipeline that would bring natural gas to the state from Pennsylvania. The Northeast Supply Enhancement pipeline, or NESE, has drawn the ire of climate activists in New York City, who want to end the expansion of gas infrastructure there.

“Each new pipeline takes us backward, and locks us into decades of fossil fuel dependence that we can’t afford.”
