@Enbridge are the criminals. The blood is still fresh on their hands from the woman in Kentucky they killed on August 1, 2019.

New in @NEJMPerspec: The False Promise of Natural Gas. "Gas is associated with health and environmental hazards and reduced social welfare at every stage of its life cycle." Citizens advocating for #NoWeymouthCompress know this. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp1913663?query=featured_home
