Tell the Delaware River Basin Commission: Say no to fracked gas exports!

New Fortress Energy and Delaware River Partners plan to expand the Deepwater Port Terminal to export fracked gas overseas for sale. The project would be a disaster for communities in the Northeast -- worsening air pollution in an area that already does not meet EPA ozone standards. And it will inevitably lead to increased fracking.

We need you to take action and tell the Delaware River Basin Commission that rushing a decision is putting communities at risk!

To whom it may concern:

I call on the Delaware River Basin Commission to reject New Fortress Energy’s fracked gas export terminal. Moving forward with the proposed project will threaten our climate, environment, and public health.

The shale gas extracted from fracking wells will be transported over 200 miles a day by truck or train, through populated areas. This hazardous LNG will then be transported down the river to proposed ports in Ireland, Puerto Rico, and beyond. However, the project has not considered the dangers to coastal and inland communities associated with the transportation of the LNG. This is a potential carbon bomb on the river that is a preventable safety hazard. I urge you to act and stop this before tragedy strikes.

At a time when cities and states throughout the country are setting ambitious targets to cut fossil fuels, New Fortress and Delaware River Partners are taking extreme steps in the wrong direction. With the entire scheme being untested, I implore you to take action to stop it before it worsens our climate crisis and causes irreparable harm to people in local communities.

Sincerely,
