Florida\u2019s water is too important to take these risks\u2014but we can say \u2018no\u2019 today!<\/a><\/b>
\n<\/a>
\nSabal Trail is seeking a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and will submit its preferred pipeline route sometime in 2014.\u00a0 This 300 mile long natural gas pipeline would cut a swath across the springs and rivers of north Florida, through the Green Swamp to Kissimmee and on to Florida Power & Light\u2019s plant at Port St. Lucie.<\/b>\u00a0 It would transport a minimum of 1.3 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day across the Florida peninsula, and it would risk explosion due to the state’s corrosive karst geology.
\n
\nTell FERC to disapprove the Sabal Trail pipeline.<\/a>The federal approval Sabal Trail is seeking is the last step in a process that began with a go-ahead from our own Florida Public Service Commission (PSC), who based their approval on the \u201cneed\u201d for more natural gas in Florida.\u00a0 Even Sabal Trail has admitted that \u201ccost effective conservation measures\u201d could replace some of this need, but so long as the fossil fuel industry blocks the efforts of Floridians to fully develop energy efficiency and renewable energy options, we will be beholden to the oil and gas companies that endanger our communities and waterways.\u00a0 <\/b>
\n
\nStand up to this big industry bully and say no to the Sabal Trail Pipeline!<\/a><\/p>\n

As Sabal Trail determines the route for its pipeline, we need your help to tell FERC that Florida\u2019s waters are too important to risk on a fossil fuel pipeline.\u00a0 Tell FERC there is no \u201cneed\u201d to further damage our rivers, springs and aquifer; tell them to disapprove the Sabal Trail pipeline. <\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

For a healthy Gulf,<\/p>\n
