- Campaign CC: aidan@hawriver.org, aldermanjm@gmail.com
- Subject:
Request for Demonstration of Public Need and Full Alternatives Analysis for Enbridge's Proposed Chatham County Fracked-Gas Pipeline
Why This Action Matters
-
1$250M+ Ratepayer Cost Burden
Enbridge customers across NC could see $250+ million in pipeline expansion costs tacked onto utility bills for decades without proof of need.
-
2Existing Infrastructure Ignored
The 24" Cardinal pipeline, compressor stations, Moriah Energy Center, and Cary Storage Facility already serve this region. NCUC must force Enbridge to study upgrading existing easements first.
-
3Haw River Watershed Protection
Haw River Assembly and community partners oppose new fracked-gas infrastructure in our watershed when energy demands can be met by clean, community-owned sources.
