Fracked Gas Pipelines Through Rockland? There is a better way!

Learn about the impacts of fracking pipelines on Rockland—and about Wind, Water, and Sunlight, the clean renewable energy plan that could take New York off fossil fuels,--including fracked gas—by 2030.

Did you think fracking will not affect Rockland County because natural gas is not extracted here? Come learn about new and expanded pipelines and larger compressor station proposed for Rockland. Learn about the health risks including radon exposure, and risk of explosion from pipelines passing close to Indian Point.

Come learn also about an alternative vision for New York State that shows we don’t need fracking! Wind, Water, and Sunlight is a ground breaking plan, put together by scientists and economists, that shows we have the technology now to transition almost entirely off fossil fuels by 2030. Speakers, including one of the authors of Wind, Water, and Sunlight, will discuss the risks of pipeline expansion for Rockland County and the alternatives for a safer, cleaner energy future.
