Radicals Pressure Mass. Gov. Healey to Block Algonquin Pipe Project

The Algonquin Gas Transmission pipeline (owned by Enbridge) transports up to 3.09 Bcf/d of natural gas through 1,131 miles of pipeline. Algonquin connects to Texas Eastern Transmission (TETCO), Millennium Pipeline, and Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline and supplies New England with critically needed natural gas supplies for power generation and consumer use. As we told you in September 2023, Enbridge conducted an open season to gauge interest in expanding Algonquin’s capacity to flow more gas into New England — mainly from the Marcellus/Utica — called Project Maple (see Enbridge Open Season to Expand Algonquin Pipe in New England). A coalition of “90 environmental organizations” (many of them one- or two-person operations) sent letters to the governors of the New England states and New York State in January demanding (they always demand) that the governors publicly oppose Project Maple (see Radicals DEMAND Northeast Governors Oppose Enbridge Pipe Project). That effort didn't work because now 45 nutball "state and local elected officials" in Massachusetts are demanding Gov. Maura Healey deny any permits requested to build the project.
