Lamont, Dunn Discuss Gas Expansion, Electric Alternatives
Description
Governor Ned Lamont and Brookfields first selectman, Steve Dunn, discussed a contentious natural gas expansion plan. The proposal adds two gas-fired compressors, increasing daily gas flow by 125 million cubic feet. Dunn expressed concerns about air pollution, while Lamont explored electric compressors as a cleaner alternative. DEEP, the states energy agency, delayed its decision due to public feedback. Iroquois, the pipeline owner, opposes electric technology due to cost concerns. Locals argue the pipeline benefits New York more than Connecticut, but owners claim it enhances state supply reliability. Lamont supports more gas infrastructure, while activists protest. DEEPs upcoming decision could lead to greener adjustments or full-scale gas power implementation.
