Lowey Statement on FERC Approval of Algonquin Incremental Market Expansion Projec
Statement
Issues: Energy Environment
Congresswoman Nita M. Lowey (Westchester/Rockland), the Ranking Member on the House Appropriations Committee, today released the following statement on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (FERC) decision to approve the Algonquin Incremental Market Expansion (AIM) project:
"I am disappointed in FERC's decision to approve the Algonquin Incremental Market Expansion (AIM) project. This decision was made without independent risk analyses, consideration of existing energy sources and transportation routes, and a comprehensive review of the project's environmental impact on the Lower Hudson Valley. We must prioritize the health and safety of our communities and environment."
