# On April 17, 2019 the Town Board of East Greenbush, NY voted unanimously against the proposed Bethlehem, East & North Greenbush, NY “E37 Resiliency & Reliability” Pipeline.

Many citizens have come out fighting for a better environmental solution to our 
energy needs, including members of Stop NY Fracked Gas Pipeline who supported the
East Greenbush Town Board’s decision.

Our fight against this fracked gas pipeline proposal began late in the process. 
For that’s due to the paucity and also limited nature of National Grid’s pipeline
announcements. It also predicts to earn the required certificate. That’s to begin
construction of this fracked gas [pipeline](https://greenlivingguy.com/2019/02/governor-murphy-calls-for-full-fracking-ban-in-delaware-river-basin/).
Moreover by the end of this summer.

Please help to stop this environmental threat. For that’s by writing to: [beckyjmeier@gmail.com](https://greenlivingguy.com/2019/04/why-use-fracked-gas-when-renewables-work-great/beckyjmeier@gmail.com)
or to: [info@stopnypipeline.org](https://greenlivingguy.com/2019/04/why-use-fracked-gas-when-renewables-work-great/info@stopnypipeline.org).

Consider also submitting public comments to the _NYS Public Service Commission_,
the lead agency, by going to: [http://documents.dps.ny.gov/](http://documents.dps.ny.gov/public/Comments/PublicComments.aspx?MatterCaseNo=19-T-0069)

## The purported deadline for public comments is April 24, 2019.

Some of the comments are also by pro pipeline forces. Those who are sweeping aside
the many non [pipeline alternatives in the name of progress](https://greenlivingguy.com/2012/07/progress-update-regarding-keystone-xl-pipeline/).

_National Grid’s_ pipeline justification is to prevent an energy shortage. One which
has never even occurred. Another rationale is to meet a projected increase in “energy
demand of 1.1% per year. All which is easily met by very attainable “demand response”
reduction measures. For that’s such as use of renewables, conservation and efficiencies.

Most importantly, public officials of Albany or Rensselaer county or residents of
Bethlehem, East or North Greenbush, please note. For they have a right to register
as an “intervenor” to obtain “party status”. Thats with the _NYS Public Service 
Commission_. This would entitle one to “special rights” from the _Public Service
Commission_.

In conclusion and for much more detailed information about this fracked gas proposal.
