Old NJ/NYC Saying, It Ain't Over, Till It's Over!
Status of NJ/NYC-spectra natural gas pipeline? Being decided by Federal Appeals Court.
(This case was heard today, Wed 2/19/14.
I don't know how long it will take the Court reach a decision.)
Note To Federal Appellate Court Judges
Dear Judges,
What to do about the spectra high-pressure gas pipeline? Shut It down.
Please decide, in favor of Jersey City and the environmental groups, No Gas Pipeline, Sierra Club, And Food & Water Watch, who are opposing this spectra energy pipeline.
Say No, to spectra energy corporation.
spectra energy has a poor safety record, with a history of accidents.

This spectra pipeline is a highly pressurized transportation gas pipeline and expected to pump 800 million cubic feet of gas a day!
Natural gas pipelines are prone to a high risk of leaks that are released as either fine mists of toxic spray or result in fires and explosions that may do significant damage to property and life.
This spectra pipeline is dangerous! What more is there to say?
It's a simple decision. The spectra pipeline poses an imminent danger, to the safety of millions of people vs big energy who are out to make a profit. Losing this case is a business tax write-off for spectra, I'm sure. (*That's one reason spectra, continued to build even though they knew the court challenge could stop them).
spectra knew, there was a lawsuit to stop their building this pipeline. By continuing to build, it makes spectra energy culpable.

It's too late to contact the Court. The time for public comments is over, but we can still flood Governor Christie with messages.
Let the politicians know; that we don't want any fracked gas, or the transportation pipelines that carry it, in New Jersey, New York, or anywhere!
