I OPPOSE THE CONSTRUCTION OF NATURAL GAS PIPELINES THROUGH THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY AND THE PINELANDS. Pipelines in the Pinelands violate the rules of the Pinelands and will cause significant damage to the surrounding ecosystems. Pipelines throughout New Jersey must be stopped. They will increase our dependence on fossil fuels, further accelerate climate change, and put the health and safety of our communities at risk. Instead of constructing more fossil fuel infrastructure in New Jersey we should be rapidly and justly transitioning to 100% renewable energy, a clean alternative that could create stable jobs for New Jersey.
Why is this important?
Senator Sweeney continues to support Gas Pipelines through the Pinelands Reserve. This is being done illegally, and with total disregard for the environment.
