CEMA APPLAUDS MARKEY
NATURAL GAS REPORT
The Connecticut Energy Marketers
Association (CEMA) recently commended
U.S. Sen. Edward Markey (D-MA) for
his leadership on the issue of old leaking
natural gas lines.
“Based on the findings in Sen. Markey’s
report
America Pays for Gas Leaks,
CEMA
cautions the Department of Energy and
Environmental Protection (DEEP) in their
overly aggressive posture to promote a
massive natural gas expansion project
in Connecticut, that is currently being
reviewed by the Public Utility Regulatory
Authority (PURA), to address the issue of
leaking lines in Connecticut first, before
further harm is done to the environment,
public safety and our economy,” CEMA
wrote in a recent press release.
When the state’s Comprehensive Energy
Strategy was released last year it promoted
the expansion of 900 miles of new gas lines.
CEMA submitted testimony urging DEEP
to ensure that the old and outdated natural
gas pipes be replaced. “We raised issues to
DEEP when their misguided gas expansion
plan was released last year and we raise our
concerns again in light of this new report
detailing the dangers of leaking gas lines,”
said CEMA President Chris Herb.
“DEEP must take pause and reconsider
the state energy plan and their support of
the state’s gas utilities request to expand in
Connecticut, until we are assured that any
and all leaking natural gas lines are fixed,”
he added.
