We’ve learned from studying population data along the path of the proposed transport of LNG by truck and/or by rail from Wyalusing PA to Gibbstown NJ that hundreds of communities are in the path of danger. But what can a community do when the federal government dominates and you have no say in what is happening, literally, in your front yard? You can speak to the one agency – the Delaware River Basin Commission - that will be making a decision this fall about whether or not the proposed export of LNG from Gibbstown NJ will move ahead by helping your municipality or county pass a resolution opposing the project. With this resolution, you can also speak to the Governor of your state, demanding state action BEFORE and not AFTER there is a catastrophic accident that can endanger so many lives.

Fracked gas developer New Fortress Energy wants to build a terminal on the Delaware River in Gibbstown, NJ to export Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). This plan would require fracking gas in the Marcellus Shale of Pennsylvania, liquefying it in Wyalusing, Bradford County, transporting it by truck or rail through hundreds of communities over 200 miles to New Jersey where it would be loaded directly into ships that would export it overseas down the Delaware River and past Delaware and South Jersey bayshore communities. This complicated scheme is fraught with danger at every step and will result in massive environmental damage to our water and air, unjust public safety and health risks, and will contribute to the climate crisis through runaway greenhouse gas emissions cradle to grave.

Join us to learn about the model resolution you can use to go to your hometown government or city council to secure a stand opposing this dangerous proposal to send bomb trucks and bomb trains through Pennsylvania and New Jersey just so an aggressive fracked gas developer can profit, at our expense!
