Enbridge, of course, has a majority stake in both the AGT & M&N pipelines, hence its desire to move the add’l. capacity onto the M&N. If completed, Enbridge’s gas distribution system would extend from Lambertville, on the Del. river in NJ,...

It’s telling too that the Gov. has not directed the DEP to review the circumstances that led to its issuance of its AQ permit.
It’s likely that the Commonwealth’s Office of Coastal Zone Management will issue the last permit needed for Enbridge to proceed construction today. It’s due ...
In going along to get along the Gov. undermines all his administration’s laudable energy and climate initiatives. Worse, it appears he’ll get along ...
