Anti-Fossil Fuel Groups Trash Talk Transco Pipe Expansion in NEPA

In March 2019, MDN told you about a new Williams plan to beef up the Transco pipeline in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, to deliver an extra 829 MMcf/d (originally 1 billion cubic feet per day) of Marcellus gas to PA, NJ, and Maryland (see Williams Announces Transco Competitor to PennEast Pipe in NEPA). The project, called the Regional Energy Access expansion project, was aimed at competing with the PennEast Pipeline project by flowing gas from northeastern Pennsylvania to the Trenton, NJ, area. PennEast got canceled after stiff opposition from liberal state officials in New Jersey. Williams is also facing problems in NJ (see Williams’ PennEast Pipe Competitor Hits a Brick Wall in New Jersey). However, radicalized anti-fossil fuel groups are attacking the project in Pennsylvania too.
