Richard Paquette, an environmental consultant to Algonquin Gas Transmission, speaks at a Cape Cod Commission subcommittee hearing Wednesday on the proposed natural gas pipeline that will replace older pipelines under the Bourne and Sagamore bridges.

Today on The Point, it's the local news roundup where we talk about stories making regional headlines this week.

Among the stories we will be talking about: there’s controversy over a new natural gas pipeline planned for Cape Cod; a look ahead to the 31st United Nations Climate Change Conference and WHOI’s Ocean Pavillion; and astrophysicists from Harvard University have found what they believe is a previously undiscovered dwarf planet in our own solar system.
