Isle of Wight Council Opposes ExxonMobil Pipeline

Residents in Gatesville, Texas are voicing concerns about a proposed natural gas pipeline by DeLa Express LLC, which is set to run close to residential areas, prompting frustration over insufficient information and potential impacts on their properties. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is facilitating public scoping sessions to gather community feedback as part of the application process. Meanwhile, on the Isle of Wight, over 150 residents gathered to oppose ExxonMobil's Solent CO2 Pipeline, which would transport carbon dioxide from a refinery to storage under the English Channel. Local council leaders expressed fears regarding environmental impacts and the lack of benefits for the community, resulting in a unanimous council vote against the project. Green Party representatives emphasized the need for investment in renewable energy instead of reliance on fossil fuels, reflecting a strong community sentiment against such infrastructure projects. Both cases illustrate growing public resistance to energy projects perceived as harmful to local environments and communities.
