LEADING POLITICAL ENVIRONMENTAL ORGANIZATION URGES MURPHY ADMINISTRATION TO REJECT NESE PIPELINE PROJECT 

 

TRENTON – the following is a statement from Ed Potosnak, Executive Director, New Jersey League of Conservation Voters, on New York’s rejection of the Northeast Supply Enhancement (NESE) pipeline project:

“The Williams-Transco NESE project is unneeded and dangerous for the environment and communities throughout central New Jersey, the Raritan Bay, and beyond,” said Ed Potosnak, Executive Director of New Jersey LCV. “The approval of this project would totally derail our strong and aggressive efforts to achieve our 100% clean energy and decarbonized future and would be a stain on Governor Murphy’s outstanding and nation-leading climate resume. We urge the Murphy Administration to join New York and say no to this unnecessary and dangerous pipeline and project.”
