Stop Fracked Gas Expansion

One of TTPW's earliest actions was to oppose the construction of the Williams Pipeline, a fracked gas pipeline that would have run from Pennsylvania through the New York Harbor. After extensive public outcry and grassroots activism, the New York Department of Environmental Conservation denied a needed water quality permit for the Williams Northeast Supply Enhancement Pipeline ultimately putting an end to the project on May 15, 2020.

Unfortunately instead of moving our economy to renewable energy, National Grid is currently seeking approval to raise our monthly bills in order to invest hundreds of millions of dollars every year into expanding and extending their fracked gas distribution system. Part of their plan is to build new pipelines throughout Long Island and expand Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG Vaporizers), Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) facilities, which means more CNG “bomb trucks” going through our communities.

Transition Town Port Washington supports investment in renewable energy not fossil fuels. We will continue to advocate for our elected officials to actively oppose the expansion of fracked gas on Long Island.
