Our campaign to fight dirty methane gas in DC is at a critical junction. After a big win last summer, the DC Public Service Commission (PSC) is once again considering Washington Gas’ latest proposal to saddle residents with the cost of unnecessarily replacing its gas pipelines. We’re not fooled by Washington Gas’ scheming: this is a bold cash grab that will line the gas company’s pockets while residents pay the price.
The PSC will decide on this plan any day now, so we’re keeping the pressure on to let them know that the District is watching. We will rally in front of the PSC’s office to collect and deliver written messages to demand that the PSC reject Washington Gas's expensive and dangerous District UNsafe plan. This plan would lock us into paying $12 billion for decades of fracked methane gas pipelines, all to generate higher profits for Washington Gas. The people say NO to Washington Gas and its "accelerated pipeline replacement" profit schemes.
To ensure the message gets through, we plan to gather every Wednesday morning at 8:15am.
Together with other groups, we won a long fight to get the PSC to reject Washington Gas' “Project Pipes” phase 3 plan. Now Washington Gas has re-branded it, and we'll defeat it again!
