Gov. Lamont: No More Methane Gas! Rally 3/31

by Sena Wazer, Sierra Club, CT Chapter

In January, Gov. Ned Lamont stated his support for “natural” methane gas during his State of the State address. Then, last month, he signed off on allowing the Capitol Area System heating and cooling system to be updated with fossil fuels — continuing to make Hartford a sacrifice zone and fueling the climate crisis.

We’re standing up and saying enough: enough with polluted air, continued asthma, and dirty energy. Connecticut deserves better. Instead, we must pursue clean energy that helps our communities to thrive.

We’re calling on Governor Lamont to:

Reverse his decision on the Capitol Area System and move forward with network geothermal.

Deny the permits for the Brookfield Compressor Stations. Now is not the time for fossil fuels. Now is the time to invest in clean and renewable energy. Join us in Hartford on Monday, March 31 at 1 p.m. as we hold a press conference at the Legislative Office Building, 300 Capitol Ave., before marching to the Capitol Area System at 490 Capitol Ave., where we will do a die-in to represent the harm that this fossil fuel infrastructure inflicts on the community.
