But special credit must go to three Roman Catholic women's religious orders in Kentucky who helped focus attention on the project last year when they issued a call to people of this state to take a fresh look at energy needs and the best and most environmentally sound way to meet them.
The Dominican Sisters of Peace in St. Catharine, the Loretto Community at Loretto and Sisters of Charity at Nazareth have been a steady, insistent voice for for a rational energy policy that relies not on pipelines or expanded extraction of fossil fuel but on conservation and increased use of renewable energy resources.
All three orders are in the region around the proposed pipeline path through Nelson County, an area called Kentucky's Holy Land because of the early influx of religious into the area.
In their document, "An Energy Vision Statement from the Heart of Kentucky's Holy Land" the three religious orders call on all of us to examine our stewardship of the earth against the desire for convenience or cheap and quick energy sources.
