What we know so far.
A 190 mile fracked gas pipeline is proposed for Maryland's Eastern Shore, starting in Rising Sun (Cecil County), passing through all Eastern Shore counties (except for Worcester), before crossing into Virginia to end at a proposed power station in Accomack County (not built yet; we'll post more about that project as we can.)
There are also rumors that this will serve a proposed power station in Denton MD.
This pipeline, like all pipelines, will cross rivers, farms, and forests, irreparably damaging the earth along the way. The areas it will "service" are not residential; in other words the pipeline is a conduit for profit for the energy companies behind it. As organizations, activists and residents in Maryland are pushing for the state to adopt clean energy sources, the powers that be are determined to squeeze every last penny of profit they can from dirty fossil fuels first. Maryland has already banned the destructive practice of hydraulic fracturing (fracking) and yet our governor continues to not only allow, but encourages fracked gas pipelines to be build, which destroy our environment. This happens under the auspice of "job creation" which has been proven false. The reason for these pipelines is profit, plain and simple.
We must stand together to stop this pipeline before it starts AND to push our lagging government to make the transition to support clean, renewable energy sources in Maryland.
