Sane Energy Project opposes the development, transport and export of shale gas.
We support investment in renewable energy and the goal of zero fossil fuel dependence by 2030, outlined by the Stanford University study (see “studies” at right).
Sane Energy Project was formed in January of 2011 to fight Spectra Energy’s proposed gas pipeline* in New York. In a stunning display of community outreach, with only 2 weeks until the deadline, Sane Energy, together with Jersey City group, NoGasPipeline, spurred almost 500 citizens to file as “intervenors” in the project. High-profile intervenors included Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer; The Park Slope Food Co-op; Josh Fox; Mark Ruffalo and many other individuals and groups in New York and New Jersey.
Since our founding, our growing cadre of volunteers has tirelessly combed the streets of Manhattan––leafletting, gathering petition signatures, reaching out to West Villagers and other New Yorkers to alert them about the pipeline. To date, the vast number of residents who are aware of the pipeline have been informed via the work of these volunteers. Please support our efforts by spreading the word.
* Known as “The NJ-NY Expansion Project,” to be built by Spectra subsidiaries, Texas Eastern Transmission, LP and Algonquin Gas Transmission, LLC
