Spectra Corporation, one of North America's leading pipeline companies,
has permission from regulators to proceed with building a 42 inch gas pipeline that will pass within 105 feet of the Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant.
If something were to ever go wrong, the lives of over 20 million people would be put in jeopardy.(The Guardian, Brandon Lavoie)

Why is this important?
I am one of approximately 20 million people who live within a 50 mile radius of the Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant. Having a 42 inch natural gas pipeline run within 105 feet of Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant is a recipe for disaster. The possibility of a gas pipeline rupture within 105 feet of the Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant is not a risk that our elected officials should ask us to take.
