Wednesday is the last day to register as an intervener of the proposed Natural Gas Pipeline that is headed to run below Lower Manhattan, Jersey City and Staten Island. If you're like lots of people who recieved flyers about this in Chelsea from United For Action, you're gasping. Bloomberg, the same guy who rejected Fracking in the NYC Watershed, supports a Marcellus Gas Pipeline to be built in NYC? And these things do blow up. Sorry to be all code orangey all over again, but yes, they are terrorist targets. But that aside, a pipe blew up accidentally in California months ago killing 8 people. And accidents aside, it compliments unnecessary fossil fuel extraction while pushing away Green Jobs and putting Green Jobs in the category of youthful idealistic fantasy. Here's a better idea:United For Action created a guideline page for registering as an intervener, which may lead to the opportunity of participating in the democratic process of a public commentary period. Even though you probably have to be in this sphere of things to even know about this, Wednesday is the deadline, so let's register as stakeholders who have the most STAKE in the FUTURE! It takes 25 minutes. Please register as an intervener.
