The whole project is referred to as the Sable Gas Project, and has been the focus of a corporate hard sell to the citizens and regulatory agencies of Nova Scotia for much of the past decade. The Maritimes and Northeast Pipeline company has plans of extending the pipeline into Maine near Calais. There are 27 mainline valve sites at 25 mile intervals along the mainland section of the pipeline in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. It is reasonable to believe that a similar spacing of valve sites will occur in Maine. Natural gas is good for the environment.
Natural gas is for Maine use and there are many jobs involved.
There are no risks to humans or the environment, and the industry knows what it is doing. There are no other, alternative energy sources, than increased fossil fuel use. There is no other path forward than that of the multi-national corporation. On investigating this assertion, I found it not to be true. Natural gas is not an environmentally friendly clean fuel.
