For Immediate release:

                    STOP NY FRACKED GAS PIPELINE
              NORTHEAST ENERGY DIRECT PROJECT
KINDER MORGAN/TENNESSEE GAS PIPELINE OPEN HOUSES
 
STOP NY FRACKED GAS PIPELINE has announced that it will assemble at three upcoming Kinder Morgan/ Tennessee Gas Pipeline “Open Houses” concerning their proposed pipeline called “Northeast Energy Direct”. These “Open Houses” are generally “one on one” conversations with citizens and are not a question and answer session, nor are they debates.There are no other appearances scheduled by Kinder Morgan in either Rensselaer or Albany County, NY at this time.
 
This volunteer group is meeting at the Kinder Morgan Open Houses in direct response to increasing public opposition to this fracked gas pipeline and to this inadequate format.
This grassroots group was formed to stop the expansion of fossil fuel infrastructure in New York and beyond and to promote sustainable, renewable sources of energy conservation and efficiency instead.
 
Stop NY Fracked Gas Pipeline plans to provide New York Citizens with information either not being discussed by Kinder Morgan or to shine a light on areas that need more clarification. Richard Kinder of Kinder Morgan Company is a former Chief Operating Officer and President for the now bankrupt Enron Corporation from 1990 to 1996.
 
In addition to the fracked gas pipeline, this project will also include compressor stations and other infrastructure to be built in New York without providing any gas to New York and will leave behind environmental damages, foster property value loss, along with multiple health and safety risks for New Yorkers. New York would become nothing more than a transit vessel for corporate gain at public expense.
 
Kinder Morgan has been invited to various Stop NY Fracked Gas Pipeline public events since June 2014 and has never participated or even responded. Kinder Morgan has not accepted an open invitation by WAMC radio in Albany, NY to appear in a debate with members of Stop NY Fracked Gas Pipeline.
 
If citizens would like to join with Stop NY Fracked Gas Pipeline and other opposition groups, at the Kinder Morgan “Open Houses” please note the schedule of Kinder Morgan events below.
