Santa and Mrs. Claus, 7 Elves Arrested At Seneca Lake

Santa Arrested at Seneca Lake

Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus and 7 Elves Arrested Today Blocking Crestwood Gas Storage Facility, Marking 170 Arrests in Two-Month-Old Civil Disobedience Campaign

Watkins Glen, NY — Carrying banners that declared “Christmas Against Crestwood” and “Methane in Your Stocking is Worse Than Coal,” on December 22, 2014, Santa, Mrs. Claus, and seven elves stood in solidarity with We Are Seneca Lake to protest the proposed Crestwood project to store methane, propane, and butane gas in unstable salt caverns next to Seneca Lake. 170 people have been arrested over the past two months in civil disobedience against this project. Almost all the towns have passed resolutions opposing it, but FERC approved the methane storage anyway and the LPG has only the DEC standing in its way.
