Antis Get the Band Back Together to Fight NY Constitution Pipeline

We spotted a couple of stories, one by PBS and another by the financial publication Barron's, covering the "groundswell" of opposition to resurrecting the 124-mile Pennsylvania-to-New York Constitution Pipeline project. According to a letter signed by "233 environmental and community groups," the proposed pipeline poses “a serious threat to state sovereignty." Here's the first thing to note: Enviro-lefties file paperwork to form a "group" of one or two people. It looks great on letterhead to list hundreds of organizations, implying thousands of people. However, it would be more accurate to say "233 individuals" instead of 233 groups of people. At any rate, we will repeat an observation we have made almost since beginning to write the MDN site in 2009: Many in the anti-fracking and anti-pipeline movement are old (sometimes young) hippies looking to relive the glory days of Vietnam protests.
