I won’t argue with the gist of this article, that the routing of this proposed pipeline and the information put into public purview about it are unacceptable.

I just want to point out that given that 1–climate change is an imminent and extreme threat; 2–natural gas, when the full cycle is considered, is just as bad in greenhouse gas emission terms as coal.

Therefore, this project should be abandoned, so should the Atlantic Coast Pipeline and the Mountaineer Xpress and Gulf Xpress and Rover… ALL the proposed pipelines intended to replace the burning of coal with the burning of gas… to acknowledge that climate change is bearing down on us and threatens the health and even the survival of our children, and then go blithely on with new fossil fuel projects is criminally irresponsible and I would argue, flat out insane, since defense of the next generation is basic to healthy life.
