New Worries for New Yorkers

摘要

Some of the most densely populated areas in America-including the Tribeca, Chelsea and Meatpacking neighborhoods of lower Manhattan-are in the proposed path of a massive new natural gas pipeline. The New Jersey-New York Expansion Project, known as "The Spectra Pipeline" is a 30-inch-diameter pipeline that will transport up to 800 million cubic feet per day of natural gas from hydraulic fracturing or "fracking" sites in nearby states through New Jersey cities, including Bayonne and Jersey City.
