Climate Groups Dismayed By DEC Permit For Iroquois Pipeline

The state Department of Environment Conservation (DEC) approved permits Friday to expand two Hudson Valley compressor stations in Athens and Dover as part of the Iroquois gas pipeline. The entire project, which includes upgrading two Connecticut facilities, allows another 125 million cubic feet of fracked gas to flow along the 414-mile pipeline from Canada to New York City. Emily Skydel of Food and Water Watch and Greene County activist Mary Finneran talk with Mark Dunlea of Hudson Mohawk Magazine.
