NJ Dems Celebrate PennEast Pipeline Not Moving Forward

[Klaralven]

The controversial PennEast Pipeline will not move forward, with the company saying it was awaiting permits including a water quality certification in New Jersey.

That’s according to a Sept. 27 company release which noted it was one of the last remaining projects seeking to pull gas from the Marcellus/Utica formation.

Gov. Phil Murphy positioned the news as a positive for the Garden State, saying he had fought against the project for four years and calling it “unnecessary.”

“[The PennEast Pipeline] was wrong for New Jersey and would have destroyed acres of New Jersey’s conserved land and threatened species,” he argued.

Hopefully the winters will continue to get warmer.
