If you missed our April action, you can see a 3 minute recap video featuring some speeches and calls to action in our blog, which also has ways to send a comment on the MVP and other projects.
Since our April action, a disastrous safety test blew out a section of the MVP pipe. This is exactly the sort of thing we've been telling FERC to fine and hold the MVP accountable about for years: Shoddy work, degraded pipes and coating, failure to adhere to safety and environmental standards. Now there’s photographic evidence that our concerns were not only justified, but possibly understated the danger to public safety and the environment!
So, we'll tell them again – FERC's duty to safety and the environment compels them to reject the MVP’s request for an early in-service date. But FERC is not very good at receiving feedback. Nor have they ever rejected a project or denied an industry request as a result of (even overwhelming) public comment.
This month's FERC meeting promises to have a doozy of additional bad projects approved – including new and expanded LNG in Texas, the return of our old enemy the New England Forward Capacity Auction, and more.
That's the whole reason we've been waging our campaign to UnFrack FERC this spring: FERC doesn’t work. And to UnF***k FERC, we have to take direct action. Join us in DC or online on May 23 to make it happen!
Thanks,
