DESCRIPTION:Event details: https://xrboston.org/action/solidarity-renewabl
 e-energy-breakfast/\n\nThe North Shore Chamber of Commerce is hosting a br
 eakfast focusing on renewable energy featuring Max Bergeron\, manager of s
 takeholder relations\, Enbridge and Daniel Cameron\, community and custome
 r manager\, National Grid. \n\n[350Mass](https://350mass.betterfutureproje
 ct.org/) is planning a sizable stand-out to greet attendees. The action wi
 ll call out the greenwashing of the two companies and demand a complete tr
 ansition to clean energy.  Join us there! \n\nThe stand-out will last from
  **8:30 am to 9:30 am.** We will gather outside the gate onto the property
 .  It is **right off of 128\,** and you'll see where there is parking when
  you [sign up.]((https://actionnetwork.org/events/enbridge-line-3-pipeline

 --\n\nBoth companies are committed to fossil fuels. Enbridge built a gas c
 ompressor in Weymouth\, MA that is both dangerous and not essential to the
  region's energy capacity. In Minnesota\, the company is constructing Line
  3\, a pipeline which will bring nearly a million barrels of tar sands per
  day through the previously untouched wetlands and the treaty territory of
  Anishinaabe peoples. The pipeline runs through the Mississippi River head
 waters to the shores of Lake Superior. [1](https://www.stopline3.org/#intr
 o)  In both Weymouth and Minnesota\, there was no public vote and limited 
 public input on citing these facilities. [2](https://www.nocompressor.com/
 ) \n\nNational Grid is currently embroiled in a pipeline expansion controv
 ersy in Brooklyn\, NY. The company says that they aim to achieve net-zero 
 greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. However\, in addition to the pipeline\, 
 National Grid is seeking city and state approvals to replace two  liquifie
 d natural gas vaporizers and add another two units at its Greenpoint hub.

 -through-north-brooklyn-do-we-need-it) In Massachusetts\, *The Boston Glob
 e*  recently reported that National Grid along with Eversource is investin
 g billions in gas pipelines. [4](https://www.bostonglobe.com/2021/10/03/sc
 ience/massachusetts-envisions-fossil-fuel-free-future-gas-companies-are-qu
 ietly-investing-billions-pipelines/) Hardly a transition to renewable ener
 gy.\n\nThe official text for the Danvers event reads: *A demand for cleane
 r energy sources is fueling interest in renewable resources and a generati
 on of technologies aimed at decreasing our carbon footprint. Join us to he
 ar about sustainable and affordable options for renewable-based electrific
 ation that are driving changes at unprecedented speeds.*\n\n**Please sign
