Johnny's against this, Mayor Fulop is against this, former Mayor Healy fought hard against this, pretty much anyone who has seen pictures of Dresden in 1945 is against this. Spectra Energy's 30 inch high-pressure natural gas pipeline will begin in earnest by November 1st. Let's hear from Spectra first today because Johnny's feeling merciful:
Spectra officials have argued that the pipeline will provide clean and affordable natural gas to the region in critical need of additional energy supply. It will be the safest in North America.
Got that? "to the region"
It's time to play Hudson County's favorite online game show "To the Region!"
When Spectra Energy says this will provide clean and affordable natural gas "To the Region" do they mean:
A) Bayonne
B) Hudson County
C) New York City
If you guessed New York City, well played, of course they get a Tywin Lannister share of the benefit. OK, time for our double point round.
Which area will bear the most risk "To the Region" if something goes wrong and blows up real good:
A) New York City
B) Delaware
c) Jersey City
If you guessed Jersey City you are absolutely correct but we'd also have accepted the Hudson River and area water supply. Alright, time for our final question. IF this goes sideways and explodes or sprays down an area in gas what will Spectra Energy's response "To the Region" be?
A) Spectra Energy immediately begins filing court briefs in friendly courts trying to limit liability.
Congratulations, you've found yourself champion of the internets!
Now, this is how Spectra Energy tests their pipeline. Tell us if you signed on for this (That's a trick question, nobody truly honestly got a chance to stop this project, it was rubberstamped from the get go):
Spectra has indicated to Jersey City officials that natural gas will be released into the atmosphere during the testing phase at three areas: Pacific Avenue near Grand Street; Burma Road near Liberty State Park; and at 17th and Coles streets.
City fire officials will be on standby for each release.
FUN! Let's also make sure we remember all the hard working trade workers who appeared in the Spectra Energy ads who said without these jobs the area would crater. Remember those names and faces friends. They helped bring this to you.
This is what a high pressure gas pipeline explosion looks like. This is NOT a Spectra Energy pipeline. This is merely to show what happens to the immediate area when one goes wrong. Yeah, no problem, we can handle that, no problem. From West Virginia:
