BEAT Discusses Possible Impacts of Constitution Pipeline
 |
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Berkshire Environmental Action Team (BEAT), Pipe Line Awareness Network for the Northeast (PLAN-E), and Stop the Con are inviting concerned citizens to partake in a discussion on the possible impacts of the Constitution Pipeline for New England.
Join Cathy Kristofferson of Pipe Line Awareness Network for the North East (PLAN-NE) and Rosemary Wessel of Berkshire Environmental Action Team (BEAT) for a presentation and discussion of the Constitution Pipeline’s potential impacts on the Northeast region.
According to a press release:
The rise in demand for data centers is likely the most prevalent driving force behind proposals to build and expand pipelines across the country. The Constitution Pipeline would transmit natural gas from the fracking fields of Pennsylvania to a major pipeline hub in Wright, New York, just west of Albany, where it would then be brought into New England. Pipeline expansion could spur the growth of data centers in New England, with proposals for new locations at a scale of up to six times the size of the current largest centers.
Learn about the market and political factors driving current gas transmission expansion and what the construction of Constitution Pipeline could mean to our local communities and the environment, and what you can do to stop it.
This presentation is part of a series of community events throughout the region impacted by the Constitution pipeline proposal.
