After Trump eliminated sustainable energy projects, an underwater fracked gas pipeline is approved to New York

NEW YORK, November 9 (C'est Vrai) — The application by a subsidiary of the Williams Companies to lay a fracked gas pipeline underwater from New Jersey and around New York City was approved by State authorities, including Gov. Kathleen Hochul (D-N.Y.), ending a years-long battle to deliver more fossil fuels to the Empire State. Prior to the approval, three similar applications had been rejected by authorities. The Trump administration has been promoting domestic fossil fuels over renewable energies.
