The Mapping Project: You Are Here.
Even though fracking is at an apparent standstill in New York State, the invasion of fracking infrastructure is going full tilt. To date, Sane Energy Project has identified more than 137 pipelines, compressor stations, frack waste or storage facilities that are proposed, under construction or in operation. Nearly every week we hear about a new project.
Now, we have created–in collaboration with dozens of upstate allies–an interactive online map that allows users to both see the big picture of the shale gas network statewide, and zoom in on their own town, learn the current status of a project, and find a local group that is fighting it. This is a map by citizens, for citizens. This is everyone’s map.
Below are just a few select projects that are featured on the map:
The Spectra Pipeline, Manhattan

yes – would love to see the map when ready – we’ve been working on a map too – to protect the Great Lakes as a shared commons – maybe we should collaborate? http://www.GreatLakesCommonsMap.org
This is wonderful extraordinarily helpful work, Sane Energy Project! Please let us all know where and how to contribute what amounts of money and/or other resources to help you and your friends keep after this vital work and to spread the word about all these insidious invidious pollution monstrosity fracking pipeline projects to more and more of our fellow New Yorkers, to our neighboring impacted states and to the nation and planet at large. Thanks!
