Methane, the main component of natural gas, is 86 -105 times more potent of a greenhouse gas than C02 in the first 20 years it’s in the atmosphere. And those emission aren’t just bad for local air, they’re catastrophic for the climate. Researchers are finding that the web of fracked gas infrastructure that crosses all over the country has a big emissions problem. If these plants are built you can say goodbye to New York City. And it’s just one of some 300 fracked gas power plants that are being proposed all over the country. Families with homes close to the compress station have walked away from them.ĬPV’s fracked gas power plant would release 43 times the emissions as the compressor station. Because of emissions from the compressor station children living nearby began suffering from nosebleeds, rashes, headaches and dizziness.Ī study done by the Southwest Pennsylvania Environmental Health Project in November 2015 found that the air pollution around Minisink was worse than that of a big city. In 2013, a fracked gas compressor station was built in nearby Minisink, New York to move gas along the Millennium Pipeline.
The residents of Orange County already know firsthand that living near fracked gas infrastructure poses many of the same health risks as living next to fracking wells. If these plants are built you can say goodbye to New York City.Ĭompetitive Power Ventures (CPV) has proposed to build a 650-megawatt fracked gas power plant in Wawayanda.
