No North Brooklyn Pipeline Fossil Fuel Walking Tour

Who: No North Brooklyn Pipeline Alliance and Sane Energy Project

What: Info Session with refreshments, zines, and stickers followed by a walking tour

Where: Meet in McGolrick Park in Greenpoint at 4:00 pm MAP

When:  Saturday, October 26, starting at 4:00 pm for an info session. We will depart at 4:30 sharp for the walking tour. We will return to McGolrick Park around 5:45 pm

Why: The more we know, the more we build community power; we can build a city that serves the people, not shareholder-owned corporations. We Won't Pay To Be Poisoned

  • Did you know NYC's largest fossil fuel depot is right in North Brooklyn, adjacent to homes, businesses, and playgrounds?

  • Did you also know that we pay for it through our monthly utility bills?

National Grid, a UK-based monopoly corporation, wants a massive bill increase from you for its leaky, toxic gas system, which is putting us in debt, harming our health, and breaking New York climate law.

Join the No North Brooklyn Pipeline and Sane Energy Project for an info session and walking tour of the LNG (Liquefied "Natural" Gas) facility to learn how we are working to transform this site into 120 acres that serve the community, not a shareholder-focused corporation.

The gas systems should be RETIRED, NOT REPLACED! New York State law requires that we get off all fossil fuels by 2050 to mitigate the climate disasters unfolding in real time before us. We shouldn’t be paying 3.8 BILLION dollars for National Grid to invest in their decrepit gas system!

Climate change is here, with extreme heat, brutal cold, massive wildfires, devastating hurricanes, and previously unimaginable floods. We CAN build an energy system that does not harm us!

The Public Service Commission (PSC) and the governor must ensure that we meet the requirements of the state climate law, protect our residents, farms, and businesses, and lead the nation in smart climate policy.

Governor Hochul is a Climate Arsonist, and She Should Stop Blowing Smoke

Our communities have suffered from toxic peaker plants polluting our air and planet for too long. 🏭 Asthma rates are sky-high in places like the South Bronx, Williamsburg, and Astoria because of fossil fuels. But we won a victory last year: all NY peaker plants will be shut down by 2030, and public renewables will power our future.

From NYC to Dublin We Say No Fossil Fuels!

Join us this Saturday as we stand with Extinction Rebellion Ireland to reject LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) pipelines. We oppose the construction of LNG import terminals on Irish shores. Our vision is a future powered by clean energy, free from the dangers of fracking and fossil fuels. We refuse to let toxic LNG, produced through environmentally destructive fracking, be transported across the Atlantic and stored on Ireland's coast. From Dublin to NYC, we say no to fracking, no to harmful pipelines, and yes to sustainable, clean energy and a healthier planet.

We Won't PAY to be POISONED: NYC Utility Injustice, targeting National Grid.

We Won't PAY to be POISONED: NYC Utility Injustice, targeting National Grid.

National Grid, a U.K.-based corporation, is proposing more money from Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and Long Island customers to expand its fracked gas system. An unprecedented rate increase will raise everyone’s bills in 2024 by an average of $30 a month and exponentially increase in 2025 and 2026, totaling about $67.00 more per month on your bill.

National Grid’s leaky, toxic gas system is putting us in debt, harming our health, and breaking New York climate law.

The gas systems should be RETIRED, NOT REPLACED! New York State law requires that we get off all fossil fuels by 2050 to mitigate the climate disasters unfolding in real time before us. We shouldn’t be paying 3.8 BILLION dollars for National Grid to invest in their decrepit gas system!

New York: How You Can Stop Utilities From Using Your Money Against You

Utilities abuse their power to line their pockets and we pay the price. We pay the electricity bills and utilities turn it around to use it against us. They are using ratepayer funds for lobbying, campaign donations, and other political tactics. It’s time to stop utilities from playing with house money to bankroll their shady campaigns to raise our rates and block cheaper energy sources.
