Spectra breaks ground for Frack Gas +Radon pipeline in Greenwich Village , High Risk BLAST zone, No Hospital by Jim Fouratt

Friends 

Fracking has come to NYC . A pipeline is being built in Greenwich Village that will carry FRACKED gas and RADIOACTIVE radon into every home. The safety record of the builder is poor meaning the West Village and Lower Chelsea including the Highline,  the Meat Market an the Hudson Guild Housing  will fall into a potential blast zone. We have no hospital since the politicians allowed St Vincent's to be closed. If a pandemic explosion were to happen major loss of life and property can take place . For the three weeks Occupy the Pipeline with Sane Energy and other environmental groups have been making a presence at the Hudson River Park where the drilling has begun.  Please watch these two videos . While money involved has attracted some politicians like Mayor Bloomberg and hedge fund investors, we the people can fight back. Save our neighborhood, save our water supply. If you watch these two videos you will learn it is happening right now in Greenwich Village.  I have also included an excellent site to bring you up to speed on what fracking is and the dangers it presents. Educate yourself  and talk to your neighbors .. right now the Governor Cuomo is deciding if he will allow fracking in NY, He appears to be leaning towards allowing it , let him know how you feel. Vermont has banned any kind of fracking. Join us in our activities at the pipeline over the next few weeks.

I would love to hear your feedback!  And fdo share on FB and forward to your friends
