The proposed route through Nelson County traverses much of our most scenic, rugged, and undeveloped terrain. Specifically, the construction of the pipeline through the watershed of the Rockfish River would disturb and damage surface water resources at or near every stream crossing. The existence of a gas pipeline of the magnitude proposed would have a harmful effect on tourism, a critical component of the economy of Nelson County. The continued presence would impose a significant burden on local government resources including but not limited to our largely volunteer fire and rescue services. Real estate along or near the proposed route would be adversely impacted, harming property owners directly in the path of the pipeline, as well as neighboring properties. Nelson County would not derive any perceptible benefit from the project sufficient to compensate for the harm caused to property owners, tourism, natural resources, and the ongoing disruption of life in the county for a period of years. Please help to resolve this!

I'm only a thirteen year old girl, but hopefully I can enter adulthood into a green, healthy world you and I have helped change.

It is about the devastation, without any regulation to hang onto, on my road, Crooked Run Rd. in Alum Bridge, WV, in Alum Bridge, WV, in the state of WV., in the country of the U.S., in the world. It is ecocide - it ruins the water, the air, the earth and the quality of life of anyone near it. Please sign the petitiion.

Help those people without water!!

The Arctic is an amazing place, home to whales, polar bears, and other amazing creatures. We need to act now to protect it for future generations

This 46-acre woodlands is an important resource that should be preserved and protected.

PETITION TO ASK LOCAL, STATE, AND FEDERAL OFFICIALS TO OPPOSE KINDER MORGAN'S TENNESSEE GAS NORTHEAST ENERGY DIRECT PIPELINE PROJECT Kinder Morgan is proposing a new high pressure natural gas pipeline from Wright, NY to Dracut, MA. This pipeline creates the risk of chemical leaks and explosions that contaminate our soil, water and air, damage our property, and create hazards in our communities. Chemical off-gassing of known carcinogens, neurotoxins and endocrine disrupters happens at the compressor stations and drilling sites, and wherever pipelines are leaking. A recent study submitted to Governor Cuomo cited 41,000 leaks out of 70,000 welds and cement casing samples checked. The gas that will go through this pipeline is extracted using hydraulic fracturing (commonly known as fracking), which is now irrefutably linked to health problems because of the chemicals involved and the contamination to our underground water supplies. And when methane leaks from fracking, compressor stations, and transmission lines are taken into account, natural gas is far more polluting than coal or oil. Although it has been stated this pipeline is necessary to keep prices down and provide a bridge between older fossil fuels and future renewables, mounting evidence strongly suggests this is not true. Shortages could be corrected by fixing leaks in older pipeline and by increasing energy efficiency in homes and businesses. Both the Kinder Morgan website and their project pre-application letter state that some of the gas from this pipeline will be exported, which can raise our fuel prices like last winter when propane got sold overseas and U.S prices soared. Programs that provide jobs like Green Jobs Green NY, State programs that reduce energy use and provide free energy audits, and alternative energy sources like solar panels or wind make more economic and environmental sense than adding pipeline. Some of these programs provide tax credits and rebates, and some mortgage companies give lower interest rates to homes built or retrofitted with energy efficient components. Therefore, we the undersigned, realizing the risks and costs to our families, our property values, our safety, our drinking water, our clean air, our roads, and the potential costs and stresses to our towns that will be created by the Kinder Morgan Tennessee Gas Northeast Energy Direct Pipeline Project—which will be using fracked shale gas—do hereby state that it is our desire for our federal, state, county, and town leaders to immediately and permanently declare on our behalf that no new or additional high pressure gas pipelines of any kind shall be placed within the boundaries of our towns. Signed, the following residents:

Everywhere fracking is happening, from Texas to Colorado to Pennsylvania, the health of people is suffering -- from children with unexplained nosebleeds, to babies born with birth defects, to workers sickened by exposure to toxic, tiny silica particles. In Maryland, we don’t have fracking -- for now. And we need to speak out now to keep it that way. A three-year fracking review process that Governor Martin O’Malley put in place in 2011 is set to conclude in the next few months, potentially leaving Marylanders with no protections against drilling. In mid-August, as part of this process, the O’Malley administration released a study on the potential health impacts of fracking in Maryland, triggering a public comment period through October 3rd. Among many significant dangers, the report warns that fracking is highly likely to harm Marylanders’ air quality -- exposing people to toxins linked to cancer, birth defects, and respiratory illnesses. Rushed and underfunded, the study also leaves many critical questions about the risks to our health unanswered. Join us in calling on Governor O'Malley to protect our health by keeping Maryland's fracking moratorium in place. Let’s make sure this message is heard loud and clear: If fracking were to start in Maryland now, we’d be the next guinea pigs for testing the industry’s impacts on people, and that’s wholly unacceptable. Sign the petition by the October 3rd deadline!

25 million Americans are in danger from exploding oil trains. Last month — after a record year of unsafe oil trains derailing, spilling, and exploding across the country — President Obama proposed new regulations for unsafe tank cars. But shockingly, these new rules actually protect industry profits while sacrificing public safety and the health of our air and water.

In February, the Los Angeles City Council voted historically in 10-0 vote to draft new rules to stop fracking and toxic drilling techniques in Los Angeles - BUT now we need to officially adopt the law! Fracking and other extreme oil-production methods in Los Angeles and Orange County use dangerous chemicals, including known carcinogens and toxins that are linked to birth defects, developmental problems in children, and can cause harm to the heart, liver, brain, immune, and respiratory systems. Governor Brown has failed to protect Californians. Last year he signed a bad bill into law that will green-light more fracking in our state and could allow oil and gas companies to bypass basic environmental review. Since Governor Brown has failed to act, cities like Los Angeles are stepping up to protect residents. Across the city, we are already seeing health impacts, property damage and dangerous blowouts. L.A. residents are in the line of fire when it comes to fracking and the hazardous activities related to it and the oil industry is working to bring a massive opposition to the next fracking vote. Your Councilmembers need to hear from you now. Sign the petition to tell L.A. City Councilmembers and Mayor Garcetti to support the motion to pass a moratorium on fracking in L.A.

Everyone will be personally affected by this.

Enbridge, the company responsible for the biggest inland oil spill in American history in the Kalamazoo River, has been trying to expand their Clipper pipeline and double the amount of tar sands shipped through the Great Lakes. But since the pipeline crosses the Canadian border, the new construction needs a permit from the State Department. But in an effort to avoid a public review they're instead adding new Clipper pipe on both sides of the border, and then a few miles out on either side, switching the tar sands over to a different pipeline that is already built, running the tar for a few miles across the border from Canada to the US, and then switching it back to the Clipper pipe to continue to the Great Lakes. Enbridge quietly sent this plan to State, and someone in the bureaucracy quietly wrote them back and said, basically, ‘yup, looks fine to me.’ One of two things could be happening here: One, a mid level bureaucrat has gone rogue, and is approving pipelines across the border with essentially no review or oversight from his bosses. That's bad. But the other option is worse: the State Department leadership has deliberately blown a loophole in federal law big enough to pass a tar sands pipeline through, completely invalidating President Obama's pledge to reject Keystone XL if it significantly impacts the climate. Send the State Department a message that this is unacceptable and blow this scheme wide open.
