BP Adams Releases Statement On City Hall's Opposition To North Brooklyn Pipeline
"New York City's future is in clean energy, and that future cannot be delayed one day longer in the face of a growing climate crisis."
December 3 2020
“New York City’s future is in clean energy, and that future cannot be delayed one day longer in the face of a growing climate crisis. That is why I have long opposed the North Brooklyn Pipeline as a threat to the health of Black, Brown, and working-class communities from Brownsville to Greenpoint — communities that have borne the brunt of environmental racism for generations. The mayor’s opposition to this project is welcome news for all of us who have advocated against it. City Hall must now use the full force of its leverage to compel an immediate halt to construction and a reversal of any potential rate hike for fossil fuel infrastructure.”
