What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Sierra Club calculated that replacing two 10-inch pipes with a single 18-inch pipe on Cape Cod could double the gas capacity of the pipeline. This calculation factored in increased cross-section area, reduced friction, and higher pumping pressure. Enbridge disputes the Sierra Club's claim regarding increased capacity. The pipeline, owned by Enbridge, delivers gas to National Grid on Cape Cod.

The pipeline delivers gas from Enbridge to National Grid on Cape Cod. Uncertainty over the pipeline's capacity could affect National Grid's downstream gas supply planning. The dispute over capacity and the use of fossil fuels is part of ongoing scrutiny by the Sierra Club.
