This safe and necessary energy infrastructure project will provide public utilities with clean-burning natural gas to generate electricity and heat our homes and businesses. It will create jobs and boost economic growth, while decreasing carbon emissions.____Building the ACP will support an estimated 17,240 construction jobs and 2,200 ongoing operation jobs when it is completed. It will cut energy costs for consumers by $377 million a year.____The ACP has undergone three years of reviews and extensive study by federal, state, and local entities. FERC and other agencies have carefully analyzed its potential impacts on air and water quality, wildlife, and other natural resources. It has passed every test and met all state and federal construction and environmental requirements.____I am urging the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to please support the ACP. It will help meet the growing energy needs of our expanding population, create living-wage jobs for North Carolina workers, and make our state a cleaner, safer, and more prosperous place to live.__ Sincerely, Roy Spegele 1330 SW 2nd Pl Cape Coral, FL 33991-8051 1
