Route the pipelines through a different region, cut off ALL of the existing pipelines into Massachusetts, and let all of them freeze in the dark. Actions have consequences. Choose wisely.

How about it, thack ... (grania’s #38) .. I’ve never known pipeline to cross water (not that it doesn’t ... I’ve just never seen it), but I DO know they’re the most clever little diggers to go under roads and highways with zero disruption.

Pipelines are sometimes put on bridges, but I believe most transmission lines go underneath. It just is a matter of economics usually, given the situation of the location.

To claim that part of Mass is too pristine, rugged or other nonsense is just silly. Those claiming so have little understanding where pipelines already are located.

The children of the generation that sponsored protest against the Seabrook Power Plant have arrived to stir up the locals in Massachusetts. The Soros backed Gasland Documentary is circulating among activists. Wood is plentiful in Western Massachusetts. Wait until they learn that the EPA is banning wood stoves. They think a few solar panels and windmills will take care of them. Good luck to that.
