New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo rejected a permit to build a controversial pipeline. The proposal was for the Northeast Supply Enhancement Pipeline, known as the Williams Pipeline. The Oklahoma company behind the project wanted to lay a new conduit under Lower New York Bay. According to the HuffPost, the pipeline would carry gas from Penssylvania to homes in Brooklyn, Queen, Staten island and Long Island. The proposal was denied with prejudice, which means there are no changes to the proposal that can lessen the environmental impacts.
