These projects are happening all over the country,\u201d said Suzanne Mattei, the former head of the New York City branch of the state\u2019s environmental conservation agency who opposes the pipeline. \u201cIt\u2019s not just about the energy future of New York, but it\u2019s really about the energy future of the entire country.\u201d<br class=""><br class="">...<br class="">Ms. Mattei, the former New York City environmental official who now works as an attorney at a public policy firm, was commissioned to write a report on the proposed pipeline by <a href="http://350.org" class="">350.org</a>, an activist group that seeks to end the use of all fossil fuels. Her research, she said, showed that the claim of unmet gas demand was \u201ca lot of smoke and mirrors.\u201d<br class=""><br class="">She pointed to a company presentation by Williams last year that predicted that several states in the Northeast could \u201cexperience flat to negative gas-demand growth\u201d in the next 20 years as renewable energy proliferated.
