What the FRACK?! In this episode of Auto Asphyxiation we discuss the Northeast Supply Enhancement (NESE) pipeline, proposed by Williams Transco, is stirring major controversy in New Jersey and New York. Supporters say it’s about keeping the heat on in winter. But the truth? New Jersey gets no energy benefits—only pollution, health risks, and environmental damage—while New York gets the gas.

In this episode, we break down:

• What the NESE pipeline is and where the gas actually goes
• Why New Jersey is just a pass-through state
• The risks: compressor stations, toxic dredging in Raritan Bay, and threats to marine ecosystems
• Who really benefits (spoiler: fossil fuel companies and utilities)
• Who bears the costs: local communities, renters, and future generations
• Climate impacts of methane and fossil fuel expansion
• Real clean energy alternatives: heat pumps, solar, offshore wind, battery storage, and efficiency upgrades
• How you can take action before the NJDEP public comment deadline (September 25, 2025)

This is more than a pipeline fight—it’s about the future of clean energy, climate justice, and who gets to decide what kind of world we live in.
