Hi Ruth,
I hope this message finds you well, and happy holidays to you. I'm reaching out on behalf of Extinction Rebellion (XR), a global movement known for its creative, non-violent protests that have helped compel legislation, push governments to act, and shift public discourse on the climate and ecological crisis.
As we determine our priorities for 2025, we’ve identified concerns regarding the proposed expansion project in Brookfield. Specifically, our research team noted that the Environmental Sensitivities and Enhancements section of your overview document focuses solely on site-specific impacts. Notably absent are any discussions of the downstream effects of transporting an additional 125 MMcf of methane gas daily.
We believe the public deserves transparency about the broader implications of this project. For instance, the expansion would be responsible for emissions equivalent to 18,150 internal combustion engine vehicles driven for one year and carry over $15 million in climate-related social costs annually.
How do you plan to inform the community about these critical downstream impacts? Would it not be in the public’s interest to present a comprehensive view of the project’s environmental and social consequences?
We look forward to your response.
With love and rage,
XR_Fairfield
