ACP UPDATE
There is a new proposed route for the Atlantic Coast Pipeline through Bath County and the Deerfield Valley.
To learn more about the devastating impact this pipeline will have, and how to join the campaign against it, please visit the Augusta County Alliance website.
Thomas Hadwin's paper,
"The ACP in a Nutshell" is a must read in helping to understand the dollars and sense of this pipeline.
Just in case you have not had enough, the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA) just published a report showing that the Mountain Valley and Atlantic Coast Pipelines pose a serious risk to ratepayers, communities, and investors. Here's the report, please read it:
