YOU ARE HERE is an interactive online map, created by Sane Energy Project, in collaboration with the Fractracker Alliance and dozens of upstate allies. The map allows users to see the big picture of the shale gas network statewide, then zoom in on their own region, learn the current status of a project, and connect with the local group that is fighting it. The map shows hundreds of existing and proposed pipelines, compressor stations, and waste storage facilities. It offers a comprehensive, bird’s eye view that the fossil fuel industry does not provide the public.
The new stand-alone website we created for the map allows the map to belong to the movement rather than one organization, because we believe that the movement cannot exist without the numerous distributed people-powered community groups and organizations that make it happen.
