Fight the gas pipelines that make Project Jupiter & El Paso 1 possible

Please reject the permit application for the Green Chile pipeline

Here in the Southwest, we cannot handle more fossil-fuel infrastructure, including another methane gas pipeline. Over the past 20 years, climate impacts have exacerbated a relentless drought that has left our rivers and arroyos dry, and our communities without the water they need to survive. The droughts have been especially hard on our farmers. This pipeline project, along with the power plants and data centers it would support, would further threaten our rivers, arroyos, and groundwater. The risk to our fragile ecosystems is not worth it. Similarly, much of our region is already polluted from power plants and other fossil fuel infrastructure. Methane leaks are an inevitable part of these pipelines and would further threaten the health and wellbeing of the surrounding communities. Already, we live with power plants, solid-waste dumps, pipelines, and other polluting infrastructure that has rendered our air unhealthy to breathe. This pipeline does not serve the people or our communities. It serves large billion-dollar corporations that are betting that technology will make them even richer. The gas in this pipeline and the energy produced at the power plant it will feed do not serve our need for more secure sources of electricity, nor do they make our electricity more affordable. If built, this pipeline would be another one of those projects that is all burden and no benefit for our communities. Please reject the permit application for this pipeline.
