Big Green Fires Warning Shot at NY Gov. Hochul re Gas Pipelines

Big Green is NOT happy with the prospect that New York Governor Kathy Hochul is rumored to have "caved" and traded approvals for two natural gas pipelines---the Constitution and Northeast Supply Enhancement (NESE)---in return for building a $5 billion boondoggle wind farm off the coast of Long Island. As we reported today in a related post (Williams Files Request Asking FERC to Reissue NESE Cert in NY, NJ), Hochul did cave and agreed to allow these two pipeline projects, provided they meet federal and state requirements. Prior to the news breaking (via the New York Times and other outlets), Big Green, comprising Food & Water Watch, the NRDC, NYPIRG, Frack Action, and Catskill Mountainkeeper, issued a joint press release warning Hochul that she should not allow these pipelines...or else.
