April 14, 2011 - Continuing a series of speeches the Congressman has delivered on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives on the civil and human rights crisis in Puerto Rico, Rep. Luis V. Gutierrez (D-IL) today addressed a proposed natural gas pipeline project that is being pushed by the Governor of Puerto Rico and his party. The so-called "Via Verde" -- or "Green Way" -- is a 92 mile cross island project that has not received sufficient study or public scrutiny because it is being promoted as a response to an "energy emergency." Rep. Gutierrez announced he has filed a series of Freedom of Information Act requests for information from all federal agencies that have addressed the project and asked the Army Corps of Engineers to "to deny the permit request for the pipeline until experts testify, permits are applied for, community meetings are held, and environmental impact studies are done."

  • as a fellow puerto rican i applauded you Rep. Gutierrez!!! you spoke the truth and only the thruth Govener Luis Fortu~o is a coward and a big fat liar !!!! Two years ago he filled the people with promises that turn out to be big fat lies !!! La via verde es otra de sus mentiras , este proyecto no sirve !!! MAYO 1 2011 TODOS EN ADJUNTAS !! el pueblo no le debe temer al gobierno, EL GOBIERNO DEBE TEMERLE AL PUEBLO !!!!! POWER OF THE PEOPLE !!!

  • @luisanthony40 Obviamente no hemos llegado a esos extremos. Pero un gobierno donde tienen que declarar una "emergencia energética" para pasar el proyecto sin los permisos necesarios, un gobierno que aumenta el número de jueces en el supremo para tener mayor control, un gobierno que no deja a la oposición política manifestarse en el capitolio, un gobierno el cual ignoró por completo el voto por la unicameralidad no es necesariamente un ejemplo de la democracia. Eso cualquiera lo puede ver.

  • The US Army Corps of Engineers finally has decided to pay little attention to Gutiérrez' demagoguery and is preparing to authorize a solution to PR's 70% dependency on expensive, highly polluting foreign oil, while the Fortuño administration starts switching PR's generation system to renewables, including 600mw of wind and solar projects already under construction. Gutiérrez' demagoguery, in the meantime, has cost consumers $1 billion extra in fuel surcharges. Thanks a lot!

  • this guy is a sissy.

  • @gambito0025 Entiendo que si nos representa. si consigues un video de el apoyando los gasoductos en los EU enviamelo aun no lo e encontrado. Aun haci, hay una gran diferencia entre un gasoducto en los Estados que en PR, por que no llevar el gas directo al lugar? por que hacerlo? no saldria mas barato que sea enviado directo al lugar en vez de al SUR?

    doesnt he have gas pipelines in his home? go talk some bolony about chicago's natural gas pipes and stop saying we cant have gas because we have beaches. none of the pipes are going through beaches you dweeb.

  • @luisanthony40, a usted quien le dijo que pagariamos menos por la luz con el gas natural? No me diga que se creyo el anuncio trili que saco el gobierno! Jajajaja, el gobierno pagara menos por el gas natural, pero nosotros seguiremos pagando mucho( o mas) por la luz :P...No hay ninguna diferencia.
