Potentially Dangerous Fracking Pipelines Being Built In New York City - Julianna Forlano Discusses

1. This is hyperbole

Yes, these pipelines will bring gas into NYC from areas where fracking occurs, but there is no fracking going on, or planned to go on, in NYC. New York already has an extensive gas pipeline infrastructure. This merely expands on that, and is no more or less dangerous than the existing infrastructure.

2. SO, YOU'RE WRITING THAT MORE GAS PIPELINES OFFERS NO MORE THREAT TO SAFETY...HMMM

You also selling bridges?

3. You don't need to shout . . .

. . . And what I am saying is that cities, including NYC, have relied upon a gas infrastructure for decades, with a very good safety record. It is hard to make the case that a new pipeline would represent substantially more risk than the existing, aging infrastructure -- and it may even pose less of a threat.
