We, Students For the Future, call on President Obama to oppose the proposed NED natural gas pipeline. The pipeline should be opposed for many reasons, but foremost is the repercussions of investing in infrastructure that will entrench a fossil fuel in our energy future. At a time when reducing emissions is crucial to ensuring our youth's prosperity, we must pursue aggressive growth in energy efficiency and renewable energy, not become dependent on another fossil fuel. In addition, this pipeline cuts across conserved lands and private property instead of following existing pipeline corridors. The pipeline would deliver 4 times the capacity requested by New England's governors, incentivizing the further expansion of natural gas and discouraging renewable energy growth and energy efficiency.
