scam alertTHE Delaware Riverkeeper is running a scam on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). By all accounts it is a legal scam--but a scam nonetheless. FERC has a process known as a motion to intervene. Individuals, towns and organizations with a vested, legitimate interest can file to "intervene" in a project application--like the PennEast Pipeline. PennEast recently filed their application, so those people who may be affected can file to intervene--offer comments to FERC and remain updated by FERC--to ensure FERC hears and addresses the information and concerns of people with a vested, legitimate interest.
