Rachael Colley attends surprising anti-gas event regarding Hancock Compressor Project:

The Town of Hancock, Delaware County, New York is the proposed location for a new compressor station on the Millennium Pipeline. Naturally, local anti-natural gas forces are opposed. What, after all, is there to which they’re not opposed? They held a meeting among themselves to organize against the compressor station last Saturday in Long Eddy, New York. They even brought in Matt Walker from the Clean Air Council down in Philadelphia to inspire folks. Not so surprisingly, the majority of the people attending the meeting were weekend or summer residents from New Jersey and the New York City metro area.

What a meeting! It quickly descended into chaos with activist attacking activist. Poor Matt Walker got an education on dealing with fanaticism and NIMBYism. He learned a valuable lesson my elders have drummed into me and it this; “It’s seldom your enemies that get you into trouble, but, rather, your stupid friends.” How true it proved!
