Some Good News about the Environment (For a Change)

A pipeline and a compressor station, scheduled to be built on the northern edge of the New York City watershed, was cancelled yesterday (Friday). It was to be known as the Constitution Pipeline.

That is several days after the Northeast Energy Direct pipeline was cancelled.

Thank you, New York State DEC and Governor Cuomo.

This pipeline was to be routed under many streams and required the cutting of hundreds of thousands of trees.

In other news, the same group that fought the pipeline will be continuing efforts for Bernie Sanders, and I will be joining them on several road trips starting this week.

Thank you to the members at DU, those who were cordial, and even those that were less than cordial. Involvement is better than apathy, even if I disagree with your position.

Going forward, please note that censorship, in any form, simply stifles the democratic process. It is not healthy. The real world is not a 'safe space.'

I mean that in the most positive sense. I would be lying if I said that you will be in my prayers, because I will be too busy praying that Trump does not become president.

Best Wishes...
