Statement from New York City Comptroller Scott M. Stringer on Williams Pipeline Decision

“The Williams Pipeline is gone for good. This decision is a major victory in our work to deliver the greener and more sustainable future our children and our children’s children deserve.

“I am so proud to have stood alongside a dedicated coalition of climate champions who stood up against this pipeline and demanded an end to the fossil fuel industrial complex.

“Today we celebrate, but tomorrow we get back to fighting for the urgent action that our climate crisis demands. We need to put an end to the unchecked expansion of fracked gas infrastructure that will lock in emissions for years to come, whether it is billions of dollars in investments in our natural gas network, the expansion of liquified natural gas facilities, or doubling down on pipeline infrastructure. We need to build on this momentum and ensure New York City keeps leading the world to a greener future for all.”
