Tell FERC: "No" to the Berkshire Hathaway owned Iroquois EXC by August 9

There's very big problem with adding compression to old pipelines.

(Iroquois was built 36 years ago)

The MAOP (maximum allowable operating pressure) of a pipeline is determined by several factors called Barlow's Formula.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barlow%27s_formula

You will see that one such factor is the pipe thickness. Yet we know that over time a pipeline thickness will degrade & thin over time due to corrosion. This means that over time the MAOP should be adjusted DOWN!

However this is not what we see! Due to the demands of market and the greed of pipeline companies they want to move more product over time so they tend to try to INCREASE pressure.

Pipelines operate at a pressure gradient, generally the highest at the outlet of a compressor in the lowest at the inlet of the next compressor. However this is modulated by things like gravity, & the height of the pipe.

The outlet of compressor stations almost always run at very close to the MAOP. So how can they increase pressure without also increasing the MAOP?

The answer is that FERC/PHMSA allow older pipelines to run at INCREASED MAOP through a program called "Alternative MAOP".

This is absolutely insane because it runs counter to physics. These compression only solutions to increasing pipeline capacity only add stresses to these aging pipelines and increase the chances of a pipeline failure, and according to my research, these spontaneous failures most often happen within 4 MI downstream of the outlet of a compressor.

I hope you all will take some time to write a comment opposing this expansion of the Iroquois pipeline, which poses a real threat to our Hudson valley neighbors.

Subject: [NYGCG] Tell FERC: "No" to the Berkshire Hathaway owned Iroquois EXC by August 9

Hi Allies in fighting climate catastrophe, following is a blast from the Sierra Club Atlantic Chapter which asks for comments to FERC regarding their draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) on the Iroquois Expansion by Compression Project (IEXC), the directions given to commenting are simple, albeit two step.

A good synopsis of the IEXC is in the Sierra Club email (thanks Atlantic Chapter). Quick additional points:

1. the Iroquois Pipeline moniker is a heinous insult to the Haudenosaunee people and has been for 30 plus years.

2. Berkshire Hathaway now owns the pipeline system, which makes this project a true natural gas mega corporation project.

3. This project is one of the Plan B options National Grid (and Con Ed) proposed when Cuomo demanded the gas companies find ways to provide heat when the Williams Pipeline was shut down. Other intolerable plans include the NBK pipeline, LNG and CNG expansions, including more bomb trucks, (exportations???) etc. WE demand sustainable options, "they" would like all Plan B.

The Sierra Club has provided a great sample comment, but attached you will find some info from the EIS, IEXC, and quotes of others' comments for your inspiration to help enhance your comments. Please look it over, and please comment, more than once if you like! In solidarity for the planet and 7 generations, Mary

Dear Mary,

In this summer of fires and floods, climate change is ravaging the earth and the call to action has become all the more urgent. Two years ago, NYS established nation-leading laws to make New York carbon neutral within 30 years – ending our need and dependence on dirty fossil fuels and their climate killing emissions. But despite these enforceable laws, fossil fuel companies continue press New York state to build new fracked gas pipelines, compressor stations and power plants.

Case Example: The Iroquois Expansion by Compression Project (ExC) proposed by National Grid (and Con Ed) seeks to pump more fracked gas into NYC after Governor Cuomo demanded that utility companies find alternative ways to provide heat to new customers after blocking the Williams Pipeline. In compliance with the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, utility action requires the implementation of building efficiency and geothermal heating and cooling programs, not an increase of the dirty fuels we are supposed to phase out.

FERC is seeking comments on its Environmental Impact Statement for the ExC project. Comments are due by August 9. The Impact Statement will be considered in the decision-making process to determine whether the gas expansion project moves forward. FERC's own analysis says that the project would negatively contribute to climate change.

Instructions to send a message

Go to FERC's e-Comment site, provide your information and click "Authorize." You will receive an email with a link you can click to submit your comment. Make sure to enter the Docket Number CP20-48-000 in the docket number field, then type out your comment. Here's a sample comment:

"I am opposed to the Iroquois Expansion by Compression Project (ExC) as it would violate New York's climate laws and exacerbate climate change. FERC's own Environmental Impact Statement in Docket Number CP20-48-000 says the ExC project to expand four existing gas compressor stations in Connecticut and New York will increase greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and will contribute to climate change. Climate change is a grave emergency that threatens every aspect of our lives. Compressor stations also endanger the health and safety of communities; expanding the capacity of these stations increases those risks. I urge FERC to respond by rejecting this project. The risks to people and the planet are too great."

The Iroquois ExC would significantly increase the amount of natural gas being pushed through it's 30-year-old pipeline from the Compressor station in Athens NY, to the compressor station in Dover, NY (home of Cricket Valley Power Plant), through to several Connecticut compressor stations and back to NYS to cross the AIM pipeline on its way to NYC. They will accomplish this by adding new turbines at the compressor stations, increasing the pressure in their aging pipeline – which will deliver more gas but will also significantly increase greenhouse gases and toxic air emissions.

While we are specifically concerned with the impacts upon this pipeline expansion it is difficult to ignore the impacts that fracking continues to inflict upon climate and the people of Pennsylvania. The ExC project would serve to further this enduring environmental injustice by continuing to frack the water, air and rural landscapes of the keystone state. This expansion has to stop.

Thank you for taking action to uphold NY's climate laws

Sincerely,
Kate Bartholomew

Austrailia Freedom Rally: Melbourne, Sydney!

Sydney protests are going quite badly.

Police beating/arresting many people.

Opposite is true in Melbourne, Victoria.

This will inspire you!

Youtube search results suck.

Here are some I found:

DuckDuckGo is good

Hi Pat,

I just spoke with Fred D████ (been leaving him messages for days), who is "multi unit manager" for the Endicott Dunkin Donuts. 607-███-████

He was utterly uncooperative and refused to negotiate with me. No compromise.

So my plan is on. I have to speak with an attorney and a couple others, but my plan is on.

I plan on showing up to their restaurant next week and I will stay until I am either served or arrested.

Please let me know what you hear from the DA.

Thx.

Hi Bill,
I spoke with the DA and per our conversation, if you refuse to leave the premises you will be arrested for criminal trespass - a B misdemeanor. (emph added -- BH) To be clear, you will not be arrested for anything related to COVID, just for refusing to leave the premises if they tell you to do so.

Please let me know what date and time you plan on doing this so I can have a patrol aware.

Hi Pat,

Well this is very troubling.

Does criminal trespass get me booked into Broome County jail?

Will I be subjected to forced, involuntary medical procedures such as forced masking, blood samples, or forced medications in the jail?

I've been to jail several times, and quite often I'm subjected to forced medical procedures, such as obtaining blood samples.

Under the present COVID regime, I consider forced masking, and any Non-consensual or Coerced Medical Procedures which Violate my Body Integrity by any route to be a threat to my life, and against the Nuremberg Code.

This a pretty serious threat Pat.

I am just trying to obtain food.

I disagree with your interpretation of the circumstances.

This is ALL about the bogus COVID narrative.

Everything about this official story is wrong!

⏩ There is no pandemic. Most people with any sense understand this.

⏩ Forced mask mandates are bizarre, unreasonable, and unscientific. Masks are USELESS and cause harm to healthy individuals who are forced to wear them. There are just seven peer-reviewed studies with randomized clinical trials on the efficacy of masks. They all show: Masks have little or no benefit at helping to stop the spread of disease.

⏩ I have in my possession a FOIL response from NYSDOH which shows that the Commissioner of Health, and the agency have NO DOCUMENTS in their position demonstrating either the safety or efficacy of masks.

⏩ SARS-CoV-2 is purely HYPOTHETICAL. It exists "in silico" only (computer models).

⏩ No hypothetical or real virus has been proven to cause (the strangely unnamed) COVID Syndrome, which I call "Wuhan Sudden-Onset Atypical Pneumonia Syndrome" (WuSOAPS)

⏩ In fact, WuSOAPS might be a global TOXICOLOGICAL problem, not an epidemic from an infectious agent or pathogen.

e.g., 5G/Wi-fi/EMR; (alpha, beta, neutron) particle radiation; air pollution from industrial sources, incinerators, & aviation; vaping, etc

⏩ Basic etiological research as to cause of WuSOAPS was never done. ONLY the viral cause was explored, but never proven.

No toxicological inquiry, or exploration of non-viral pathogens (prions, bacteria, black mold/fungus) was ever performed.

The entire etiological inquiry began Jan 2020, and purportedly was completed Feb 11, 2020 when WHO declared "COVID-19 is a known, characterized, new disease" (which means proof of a viral cause: This WAS NEVER DONE!) 30 days! Such an inquiry typically could take 2-3 years!

⏩ There has never been an Exposure Pathway Analysis performed on the spread of COVID via droplets from asymptomatic people. This is a huge part of the justification of mask mandates.

⏩ If SARS-CoV-2 is HYPOTHETICAL, and there is no proof the hypothetical virus causes disease, and there is NO PROOF it is spread by droplets, and there is NO PROOF masks are EITHER safe OR effective, and NYSDOH has NO EVIDENCE of such.... then why has NY State FORCED citizens to wear masks and spread such fear for the last year?

⏩ There's no legal or scientific basis for the government to force people to wear a masks. It is PSEUDOSCIENCE.

⏩ The fear and hype around this entire "pandemic" is the result of medical fraud and improper state action under color of law. It has been used as an excuse for the rich to get richer and forced the middle class and the working poor into greater states of poverty, disruption, dispossession, and crisis. The human suffering cause by these actions have caused IMMEASURABLE SUFFERING.

⏩ There is strong evidence suggesting that Improper state action (Lockdowns), and medical malpractice:

• Such as continuing to use medical procedures e.g. intubation/mechanical ventilation known to be contraindicated for over 1 year, since March/April 2020,

• Such as improper use of DNR orders and "palliative care" to cause early termination of life,

• Such as bans on off-label use of existing prophylactics and therapeutics (e.g. HCQ, Ivermectin, Budesonide) known to be effective on coronavirus infections, and those expressing symptoms of this new severe, seasonal pneumonia--

... Have caused MUCH MORE death & suffering than the PURPORTED viral Pneumonia being called "COVID-19 disease".

⏩ Additionally all of the case numbers being reported are 100% bogus, because they use flawed testing protocols (PCR, antigen, antibody), which are guaranteed to produce mostly false positives.

I will provide citations of law, caselaw, and also from peer reviewed studies and technical experts supporting all of these facts when the time arises.

⏩ The prosecution of any crime requires "Mens Rea", criminal intent.

Where is my criminal intent here?

I do not intend to break any laws.

My only intent is to obtain food.

⏩ If you pursue this criminal charge, I will be suing the State of New York seeking damages, and the Attorney General will defend the state and will be subject to Discovery to prove evidence that a Medical Emergency exists in NY now or ever since Gov. Cuomo's EO.202 was declared 3/7/2020, and why the State of NY's top law enforcement officer is pursuing criminal charges against a citizen only wishing to buy food.

⏩ I have a top NY attorney fighting medical tyranny supporting me. I expect to find more legal help in the next week.

⏩ I am being supported by a group of medical professionals with a national focus, with technical subject matter experts, and a media liason who can speak on the issues.

⏩ I guarantee this will become a case of national focus. I will bring a huge spectacle. I know many social media influencers who will raise this internationally. All your actions will be under very close scrutiny.

Conclusion:

⏩ ⏩ ⏩ ⏩ I urge you to reconsider this as a violation-level offense, as you originally told me it would be, especially because you understand that I have no criminal intent.

Thank you Chief Garey.

Best Regards,

Bill Huston
