Connecting the Dots: The Pipeline and Fracking
Fracking forum in New York City
New York has become a battleground state for the natural gas extraction method called hyrdraulic fracturing — also known as fracking.
In addition to the extraordinary risk fracking poses to the environment, the drinking water supply and public health, it also requires new infrastructure like pipelines — which bring their own suite of issues.
To learn more about the connection between fracking and the proposed new Spectra pipeline, join the Sane Energy Project for a community potluck this Wednesday.
What: Connecting the Dots: The Pipeline and Fracking
When: 7 p.m., Wednesday, August 3
