Stop Dangerous Fracked Gas Transport Through Broward!

Extremely flammable liquefied fracked gas is being transported via "bomb" trucks and trains through Broward County on its way to Port Everglades for export to the Caribbean.

This fracked gas project is terrible for the climate, and transporting volatile materials through dense Broward neighborhoods is putting people in immediate danger. Broward residents face all that risk for gas that's being shipped overseas.

Urge the Broward County Commission to halt the dangerous transport of liquefied fracked gas.

Dear Broward County Commissioners,

Message Body

New Fortress Energy's liquefied fracked gas exports are putting us in danger. Fracked gas is liquefied at the Hialeah Rail Yard, then transported to Port Everglades via truck and train. Transporting explosive fracked gas via truck and train is not safe, and it's traveling through dense neighborhoods, putting many  people in danger.

Accidents happen and an accident involving volatile material like liquefied fracked gas can be deadly. A puncture in the fracked gas container from an accident can release a vapor cloud, which if ignited, causes an explosion, destroying everything nearby and overwhelming emergency services.

It's extremely concerning that the Broward County Commission did not weigh in on this project when it was proposed, nor did the Commission weigh in when New Fortress Energy doubled the amount of liquefied fracked gas they are producing and transporting through the county last year. Given the significant safety risks, this operation should have received more public scrutiny when proposed.

In 2016, Broward County banned fracking due to the danger it posed to our community and the climate. Fracking is too dangerous for Broward County and so is the transport of volatile fracked gas through our communities.

I urge you to take action to halt the transport of liquefied fracked gas at Port Everglades and conduct an investigation into the operation.

Sincerely,
