Climate Crazies Turn Out in Springfield, MA to Protest Tiny Pipe

A group of nearly 200 protesters from some 60 different wacko anti-fossil fuel groups (an average of 3 1/3 person per "group") turned out last weekend to protest a tiny 5-mile pipeline proposed in the Springfield, Massachusetts area. It was a coordinated effort by Big Green aimed at shaming local politicians into opposing Eversource's Western Massachusetts Natural Gas Reliability Project (formerly called the Greater Springfield Reliability Project under previous owner Columbia Gas of Massachusetts). The purpose of the pipeline is to function as a backup, to prevent the gas from being turned off for 58,000 Eversource customers in the region.
