We have now been fighting the PennEast “natural gas” pipeline for over four years. (It always amazes me that gas produced by pumping chemicals into the ground is called “natural.”) Every year we have a party at the Big Creek Grange to celebrate our victory over the proposed pipeline; so far we have delayed it by at least two years, and we hope it will die of natural causes.
Forty people showed up today to eat, drink, and hear a pep talk on continuing efforts to prevent this environmental and climate-destroying pipeline from being completed. The attendees consisted of landowners and environmentalists, although some, of course, were both. Attendees included a teenager and a 92-year-old farmer. It was a roomful of people who ordinarily might not have much in common, but they were united in their opposition to PennEast. The battle continues, but we are optimistic.
