"Fuels including natural gas, petroleum and coal are vital. Alternative energy simply cannot meet all our nation’s needs. High court justices were right, then, to permit the pipeline to be completed." -
You’re likely using natural gas every day, even if you don’t use it to heat your home. #NatGas is a raw material used to manufacture most everyday consumer products—from plastics, glass, and ceramics, to clothing and cell phones.
“It’s going to create jobs for the future.” – Will Evans, Ace Pipeline, Inc.
We need the Atlantic Coast Pipeline to be an economic driver—increasing tax revenue, supporting local business and stimulating growth across the route.
Military installations and other important businesses in Virginia and North Carolina have experienced natural gas shortages for years, waiting for a new supply to help meet growing demands. We need to complete the ACP.
“We’ve got to get this resource that we have out.” Chad Earl, Orders Construction. For homes and businesses across the region that only have access to one, fully tapped transmission line, there is no question. The need for the ACP is now.
“There can be a reconciliation of economic and environmental concerns. We do not have to sacrifice jobs to protect the Appalachian Trail — especially when the project at hand does not threaten the trail to begin with.” - Patrick Morrisey
Dominion Energy CEO Tom Farrell reaffirmed the company’s commitment to the ACP this week, looking forward to resolving remaining permits and getting people back to work. The environmental, economic and energy security of our region is depending on it.

“These pipelines are vitally important,” said Charlie Burd of the Independent Oil and Gas Association of #WV. Oil and gas officials are optimistic about the
plan is filled with site-specific environmental protections. This means getting our hands dirty — examining every inch of the pipeline’s path and exceeding regulatory requirements. http://spr.ly/60171mCJc
Patrick Morrisey decided to hold a press conference to discuss the importance of the #ACPipeline, laborers and business owners flooded into the capital to rally around him and show their support.
: “We have long supported the building of the Atlantic Coast Pipeline because we understand the need for natural gas in regions to our south, as well as the need for jobs here in West Virginia." http://spr.ly/60121oAha
Leslie Equipment has been in business for more than 45 years and operates across West Virginia, Ohio and Kentucky. VP Todd Perrine recognizes that the commitment to preserving the environment through projects like #ACPipeline has never been more robust. Watch below:

Natural gas pipelines already cross underneath our national forests and the Appalachian Trail. They’ve powered millions of American homes and businesses while safely coexisting with these national treasures for decades.
safely, inspections and testing are built in at every step of construction. Watch below to learn more about the role of hydrostatic testing in confirming a pipeline’s integrity before it’s cleared as safe for operational use.
The industry’s focus on safety is the reason underground #natgas pipelines are the safest form of energy transportation in the country — far safer than truck or rail. According to the most recent statistics, over 99.9% of all #natgas was delivered safely, without incident.
The transition to natural gas is already resulting in cleaner air and healthier communities. In 2016, the U.S. reached its lowest level of carbon emissions in 25 years — largely due to cleaner-burning natural gas.
