Berkshire Environmental Action Team (BEAT)

Join Cathy Kristofferson of PLAN-NE and Rosemary Wessel of BEAT to discuss  the Constitution Pipeline’s potential impacts in the Northeast.

The rise in demand for data centers is likely the most prevalent driving force behind proposals to build and expand pipelines across the country. The Constitution Pipeline would transmit natural gas from the fracking fields of Pennsylvania to a major pipeline hub in Wright, New York, just west of Albany, where it would then be brought into New England. Pipeline expansion could spur the growth of data centers in New England, with proposals for new locations at a scale of up to six times the size of the current largest centers.Learn about the market and political factors driving current gas transmission expansion and what the construction of Constitution Pipeline could mean to our local communities and the environment, and what you can do to stop it.This presentation is part of a series of community events throughout the region impacted by the Constitution pipeline proposal. Spanish interpretation will be available both in-person and online.DATE: Saturday, August 15TIME: 2 PM to 5 PMLOCATION: Berkshire Environmental Action Team (BEAT), 20 Chapel St., Pittsfield, MA 01201VIRTUAL HYBRID EVENT: <a href="https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/UHcBce4cTqmFcSPbPIr1vg" title="https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/UHcBce4cTqmFcSPbPIr1vg" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Zoom </a>(registration required). . . . .ABOUT THE SPEAKERSCathy Kristofferson is a co-founder of StopNED and the Pipe Line Awareness Network for the Northeast and is their member of the Mass Power Forward Planning Team.
