But, the same thing is occurring in New Hampshire, where I now live. A pipeline was pushed up here in the southern part of the state because of wide opposition in Massachusetts. (Massachusetts isn't immune: part of it is still proposed for the northern part of the state)<br /><br />This pipeline would wipe out homes, farms that have been in families for generations, go through sensitive ecological sites and upend our way of life in one of the most beautiful areas of New Hampshire. The company is Kinder-Morgan. We are fighting, but the politicians, except for one, have stayed mum on the issue (probably because they're receiving donations from the company)<br /><br />Speaking of presidential candidates, but not the two you mentioned,another one from a prominent family who is running was asked about the pipeline going through NH and he said it was a state matter.....State matter? Obviously, he doesn't know or is ignoring the fact that FERC is a federal entity. <br /><br />Kinder-Morgan decided to throw in a carrot and said they would put a small pipeline to funnel gas to those towns who weren't affected by the large pipeline so we would get inexpensive gas.. What they don't realize is that no matter what town you live in up here, we're all tied together because people marry and family is spread all over the region. We didn't bite to their bribe.<br /><br />And the gas, like the one down there, would go for export to the terminal in Dracut, Mass. We're disgusted, but we're fighting on. Hopefully, we'll defeat it..<br /><br />Keep the faith..Ann Marienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1902023015902241936.post-28570034067093224872016-02-10T10:19:24.812-05:002016-02-10T10:19:24.812-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Austenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13004088333430762406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1902023015902241936.post-54347038591375292512016-02-10T10:18:46.640-05:002016-02-10T10:18:46.640-05:00Wow.
