For years, activists in Appalachia have been fighting the Mountain Valley Pipeline. If built, this fracked gas pipeline would have the same climate impact as 23 new coal plants ― and it would account for at least 1% of all greenhouse gases from the US energy sector.
Since 2017, the Mountain Valley Pipeline has faced a raft of legal challenges and years of relentless activism. In the face of this pressure, the project cost of the pipeline has almost doubled to $6.6 billion. If completed, the 304-mile fracked gas pipeline system would span from northwestern West Virginia to southern Virginia.
Butthe pipeline is over three years behind schedule and has already faced millions of dollars in fines for water quality violations.
The Mountain Valley Pipeline boondoggle has become the latest example of how far the fossil fuel industry and the financial sector will go to force these failing projects through, even as renewable energy surges forward.
For years, activists, organizers and everyday people across Appalachia have been fighting this toxic pipeline.
It’s time to end this devastating pipeline and let communities and the environment begin the important work of restoration that has been denied for so long by this beleaguered project.
