Professor Germanoski has extensive background on this topic and will delve into current case-studies of the tar-sands oil KXL pipeline (which has recently been approved by Congress) and the PennEast pipeline (currently in the planning phase).
Public Scoping Hearings are underway on the issue of the PennEast Pipeline. Recently, Professor Germanoski testified as an expert at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission hearing at Northampton Community College. The PennEast pipeline will originate in Luzerne County, in northeastern PA, and terminate at the Transco pipeline interconnection in Mercer County, NJ. The KXL pipeline will run from Alberta, Canada to Nebraska. Get the facts on these pipelines and join us for lunch! Lunch will be provided.
