The Other Pa. Pipeline

Many of us in the Lehigh Valley fret over the PennEast pipeline, which will carry natural gas for 108 miles, from Wilkes-Barre to Trenton. But there's another proposed pipeline in Pa. It is called the Constitution Pipeline. It is longer, and will transport natural gas north, along a 30" pipeline, into New York. It received approval from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in December, and is waiting for an OK from the Army Corps of Engineers and New York DEP. Construction is tentatively scheduled for June.

Seven property owners had refused to agree to the pipeline going through their property, so approval was sought and just obtained from a U.S. District Judge in Scranton. Hizzoner's name is Malachy Mannion.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
