Climate change is destroying Earth’s ability to sustain life. Methane is 86-101 times worse for atmospheric warming than carbon dioxide. Filed in the United State Pipeline and Hazardous Safety Materials Administration (PHMSA) from 2016-2018 there was an average of 639 pipeline incidents per year resulting in 15 fatalities, 72 injuries, and a cost to the public nearly $600millionįracking exacerbates climate change.
We should be mandating any gas pipelines should be replaced with shared geothermal loops, and energy efficiency measures in our buildings. This project holds us back on our renewable energy goals. It will not service the affected community where the already trafficked main thoroughfares and already stressed trucking routes for local businesses will be dug up. This is about an expansion to charge rate-payers an increase and grow profits for National Grid’s shareholders. This is not about “modernizing” our system for heating and cooking. $31.5million over the next 4 years to add “portable LNG capabilities at the Greenpoint site that will allow LNG delivered via truck to on-system injection points.” They are currently seeking a variance from NYC for permission to bring LNG trucks onto city property. $54million to add two NEW vaporizers to the Greenpoint LNG facility $23million to replace two old vaporizers at the Greenpoint LNG facility $185 million from rate-payers to finish the current pipeline phase under construction in Bushwick and then continue the pipeline into East Williamsburg and Greenpoint National Grid is asking the NYS Public Service Commission (PSC) to approve:

National Grid is proposing to raise New Yorkers’ monthly bills in order to complete a new 30inch high-pressure fracked gas transmission pipeline through Brooklyn destined for a National Grid depot on Newtown Creek where they plan to expand Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) storage and vaporizers plus trucking transport plans to and from North Brooklyn with points in Long Island and Massachusetts.

Our goal is to stop this project and push the Governor to invest in renewable energy and efficiency that is affordable and accessible to all New Yorkers regardless of income or zip code. They need $185 million in a rate hike from YOU to complete this project.
Right now, they do not have the permits to move into the last phase.
Their goal is to complete this phase of the project in the Fall of 2020, and then move into Williamsburg and Greenpoint, Brooklyn leading to an expansion of a liquefied gas (LNG) and compressed gas (CNG) depot on the Newtown Creek. Their current segment includes the installation of approximately 6,200 feet of new pipeline along sections of Flushing Avenue, Bushwick Avenue, Moore Street, Manhattan Avenue, and Montrose Avenue. This project is not a replacement of leaking pipelines, it is and expansion to charge us, the rate-payers, millions of dollars in rate hikes to fill their shareholders pockets. It is call the Metropolitan Reliability Infrastructure (MRI) or as we dub it, the North Brooklyn Pipeline. Right now, National Grid is expanding a massive fracked gas transmission pipeline in North Brooklyn.
