Thanks Laurel...for keeping the key (and getting the space). The meeting is at
6:30pm this coming Wednesday (27th), at the First Congregational Church on
Silver St., Greenfield. There is a need to continue in many avenues...let's
talk.
But tonight, let's party. See you all at the Pipeline Boogie!
Love you all, Diane

I would like to remain active to fend off the CT expansion and perhaps the
Spectra pipeline. So lets keep meeting for those.

Congrats all 'round! Wowee....the power of grassroots action. KM and all
other fossil infrastructure companies use the term 'market forces' every time a
project like this is scuttled, and never admit the role of people willing to
drop everything and resist, which so many of you did. Halleluia.

Kinder Morgan Statement on Northeast Direct Energy project As a result of
inadequate capacity commitments from prospective customers, Kinder Morgan,
Inc., (NYSE: KMI) and its subsidiary, Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company (TGP),
have suspended further work and expenditures on the Northeast Energy Direct
(NED) project. In July 2015, KMI’s board announced that it had authorized TGP
to proceed with the project's "market path" segment from Wright, New York, to
Dracut, Massachusetts, a $3.3 billion investment designed to help alleviate
New England's uniquely high natural gas and electricity costs caused by
severely limited natural gas transportation capacity currently serving the
region. The board's initial approval was based on existing contractual
commitments at the time by local gas distribution companies (LDCs) to purchase
natural gas from the project, as well as expected commitments from additional
LDCs, electric distribution companies (EDCs), and other market participants in
New England. Unfortunately, despite working for more than two years and
expending substantial shareholder resources, TGP did not receive the
additional commitments it expected. As a result, there are currently neither
sufficient volumes, nor a reasonable expectation of securing them, to proceed
with the project as it is currently configured. The insufficient contracted
capacity is due to several factors. They include the fact that the New
England states have not yet established regulatory procedures to facilitate
binding EDC commitments, that the process in each state for establishing such
procedures is open-ended, and that the ultimate success of those processes is
not assured. In addition, innovations in production have resulted in a
low-price environment that, while good for consumers, has made it difficult
for producers to make new long term commitments. Further, current market
conditions and counter-party financial instability have called into question
TGP’s ability to secure incremental supply for the project. Given these market
conditions, continuing to develop the project is not an acceptable use of
shareholder funds. TGP has operated in New England for more than 60 years and
remains committed to meeting the critical need for constructing additional
natural gas infrastructure in the region. Although we have suspended work and
further expenditures on the NED project, TGP will continue to work with
customers to explore alternative solutions to address their needs,
particularly local distribution companies that are unable to fully serve
consumers and businesses in their areas because of the lack of access to
abundant, low-cost domestic natural gas. ###
