New York approves $1B NESE natural gas pipeline
“This decision is the right one, for the right reason, at the right time,” said Kyle Strober, executive director of the Association for a Better Long Island (ABLI). “The reality is our region’s demand for energy continues to grow and without a robust infrastructure in place to meet that demand we run the risk of experiencing serious shortfalls in the not-so-distant future. The economic implications alone would be catastrophic and New York State, rightly so, has no intention of allowing that to happen. In addition, this approval is especially significant as we witness strategic changes in federal energy policies. A reliable source of energy is the bottom line in this decision.”
