“The defeat of the Williams Pipeline is a major victory in our efforts to deliver the greener and more sustainable future our children and our children’s children deserve.
“We’ve been outspoken in opposition to the Pipeline from the beginning, and I am so proud of the coalition of dedicated advocates who refused to have their voices drowned out by entrenched interests. The fossil fuel industry learned an important lesson today — they are no match against the people of New York. When we fight back, we win.
“Today we celebrate. But tomorrow we get back to work fighting for the urgent action that our climate crisis demands. We must invest in renewable energy, combat pollution, develop pathways for green and sustainable infrastructure, and do everything in our power to protect our people and the planet for generations to come.”
