FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (corrected)
Valdosta, December 17,
2013 –Talk directly to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) that would have to approve the Sabal Trail methane pipeline at the last Open Houses in Madison and Kissimmee, Florida, tonight. Protesters against the pipeline will be out front starting at 4PM.
When:
5:00 PM to 7:30 PM,
Monday, December 16th

Where:
North Florida Community College |
Kissimmee
Middle School |
Why:
Spectra Energy proposes a hundred-foot-wide gash
through our lands for their huge 36 inch Sabal Trail
gas pipeline from Alabama through Georgia to feed Florida
Power and Light (FPL) and Duke Energy for no benefit to
local citizens and rate hikes for FPL customers. A one-time
payment is not enough for decreased property values,
permanent destruction, and hazards of leaks and explosions,
when FPL and Spectra and Duke would profit forever. The gas
comes from fracking in Pennsylvania and Texas, destroying
whole watersheds and poisoning farmlands and drinking water.
Solar power is cheaper and brings jobs and energy right here
where we need them.
