Dear Spectra Energy

Dear Spectra Energy,

You started pushing the gas through your pipeline this morning through Bayonne, Jersey City, offshore of Hoboken and into NYC. Congratulations, you forced your intentions upon a few million people over their protests and despite proof Spectra isn't exactly the safe company they claim. You'll now collect your $30 million pieces of silver.

Know this, this cram-down works both ways. If there are radon leaks from your pipeline, if worse yet there is an explosion and local people die or are made homeless, there WILL be consequences. We as a society cannot in good conscience have something so dangerous pushed upon us with no way to be made whole other than an "We take this seriously" non-apology apology or watch as you go to court to limit your accountability. Don't think we're going to allow you or your workers or those who appeared in your ads to help shill this mess upon us to go unchallenged or yes, unconfronted if YOUR pipeline goes sideways.

You made your promises about safety which you hope you don't ever have to pay out on. Same here, this promise about your workers (at any level of the company tree) and your advertising partners stands, and Johnny prays we as a region don't ever have to pay out on them.
