The TRUTH About the Atlantic Coast Pipeline…brought to you by some of your neighbors who’d have to live with it…

The electric utilities and ACP owners keep telling us there’s an increasing energy

demand we have to meet. FALSE. Energy demand has been FLAT for nearly a decade,

and is predicted to be nearly flat for years to come.

Who will be paying for this pipeline we don’t need? YOU.

Duke and Dominion will be buying the overpriced gas for their gas-fired power plants from their own pipeline, and will raise your rates to pay for it.

And the promise of thousands of new jobs?

The ACP will only require 18 full time employees in NC and several hundred

TEMPORARY construction jobs, many filled by out of state workers.

Isn’t the ACP a “done deal,” since the Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission has granted a Certificate? NO! NC has DISAPPROVED, or sent back as incomplete, 3 required permits for the pipeline-criti-

cal ones to protect our waters!

ACP is so full of gas, it doesn’t take our regulations seriously!We take North Carolina’s people, water, air and land VERY seriously.

To ACP and the utilities that own it, we say:

“TAKE A HIKE, THEN TAKE YOUR COSTLY and UNNECESSARY PIPELINE AWAY.”

Join us November 15 for the important Air Permit Hearing for the ACP

Compressor Station, at 6:00 PM in Garysburg Town Hall (5:00 sign up to speak).

You’ll hear just how much we love North Carolina WITHOUT the ACP!
