End the construction of Spectra Energy’s dangerous, 42″ diameter, high pressure AIM gas pipeline, which is underway only 105 feet from critical structures at the Indian Point nuclear power facility. This poses significant threats, evidenced by the history of pipelines, compressor stations, storage facilities, power plants and other gas infrastructure being subject to leaks, explosions and fires, which are common occurrences. There were 119 gas pipeline accidents in 2014 alone. The pipe being built 100 feet from Indian Point is undeniably careless, and must be stopped NOW.
Why is this important?
I live in the Hudson Valley area of New York, which is currently being threatened by the AIM pipeline. Due to the construction of this pipeline, trees have been cut down, and dangerous levels of methane are being released into the environment. This is my home, and I will do everything in my power to end this environmental damage. Areas such as Beijing China suffer every day from toxic air quality conditions; but it's not too late for the Hudson Valley, and the NY region. I will not stand by passively, and watch a company damage the quality of life in the place I stand by to protect. This can be easily prevented, by stopping the construction of Spectra Energy's AIM pipeline.
