The Pilgrim pipelines, proposed to carry billions of gallons of explosive, fracked Bakken shale oil and refined products, would cut a 100-foot swath through backyards, farms, drinking watersheds and public parks paralleling the New York State Thruway from Albany, NY, to Linden, NJ. The two pipelines, designed to carry up to 16.8 billion gallons oil a day, would cross the Hudson River (twice), putting communities up and down the Hudson Valley, their economies and the environment at risk.  

Call the Governor and tell him that the proposed Pilgrim pipelines:

• Threaten the drinking water for millions of people in New York and New Jersey

• Put the Hudson River and nearly every major tributary on the west side of the Hudson Valley at risk of disastrous oil spill

• Jeopardize the safety of communities along the route, as well as communities in the path of crude oil "bomb" trains proposed to supply the pipelines

• Promote fracking and are contrary to the Governor's clean energy goals
