Chester County, PA Leaders Continue to Sow Fear of ME2 Pipeline

Chester County, PA commissioners are, once again, attempting to instill irrational fear into county residents over the construction and operation of the Mariner East 2 (ME2) pipeline. ME2 runs hundreds of miles across the state, from eastern Ohio all the way to the Marcus Hook refinery near Philadelphia. The pipeline runs through Chester on its way to Marcus Hook. Chester commissioners are preparing to pay big bucks to hire a consultant to help the county draw up emergency plans for the pipeline in case it blows up or leaks. It's a scare tactic. "The sky is falling!" MDN friend Garland Thompson has written a cogent and devastating response to an article highlighting news of the commissioners' attempt to amplify people's fears about ME2. His response offers the bigger (and truer) picture about ME2 safety.
