To: Governor Tom Wolf
Gov. Wolf: Don't take renewable energy funds to build more pipelines!
I demand you stop your newly announced Pipeline Investment Program. In addition to putting in more dangerous pipelines across our state, the program takes $24 million in taxpayer money from a fund designated for renewable energy.
Fracked gas pipelines are inherently dangerous. Pipeline explosions and ruptures are already plaguing Pennsylvania communities, causing serious damage and harm.
Taxpayer money should be spent to benefit the public good - and this program uses it to only benefit the fracking industry.
The Pipeline Investment Program purports to help schools and hospitals by connecting them with fracked gas energy, but new fracked gas pipelines would only put these institutions and our communities at even greater risk. Many of these institutions are already hurting from the negative impacts of dirty fossil fuels.
This program is bad for our communities, bad for Pennsylvania's future, and is simply unacceptable.

Why is this important?
Governor Wolf has just announced a new program to finance even more fracked gas pipelines in Pennsylvania. Worse yet, he wants to fund the program by taking money from a fund dedicated to renewable energy projects.
Fracked gas pipelines are already causing serious harm in our state. Earlier this year, a pipeline exploded in in Westmoreland County, causing severe injury and property damage. A gasoline pipeline operated by Sunoco Logistics ruptured in Lycoming County, bringing tens of thousands of gallons of oil into the Susquehanna River.
This program would set back Pennsylvania and lock us further in to a dirty fossil fuel future. The only way to make our state's future brighter is to build our investment in renewable energy
Sign the petition to Governor Wolf to urge him to stop this terrible pipeline program before it gets started.
