New York doesn’t need more fossil fuel infrastructure—we need fewer excuses.
Today, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has deemed the application for the controversial Northeast Supply Enhancement fracked gas pipeline complete, triggering a public comment period through August 1 on key state water and pollution discharge permits for the 23.5-mile underwater project proposed by Transco.
This statement in response can be attributed to Katherine Nadeau, Environmental Advocates NY’s Deputy Executive Director of Policy and Programs.
“The math is clearer than ever: every new pipeline locks us into a fossil fuel future we can’t afford. The cost isn’t abstract—it’s rising asthma rates, flooded homes, and billions spent rebuilding communities already hit by climate disaster. New York knows better. It’s time to act like it.”
