Springfield, MA City Council Rejects Eversource NatGas Pipe Plan

In April, 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 to protest a tiny 5-mile pipeline proposed in the Springfield, Massachusetts area (see Climate Crazies Turn Out in Springfield, MA to Protest Tiny Pipe). 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). Looks like the crazies were successful. Yesterday Springfield City Council voted to reject the Eversource plan.
