Subject:Support For The Atlanta Coast Pipeline
Dear North Carolina Department Of Environmental Quality:
I am writing to voice my strong support for the Atlanta Coast Pipeline (ACP) project and to respectfully urge the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission to approve the pipeline route.
This pipeline will create 17,000 new jobs, $277 million in annual energy cost savings, and $28 million in local new tax
revenue. This on top of the safe and reliable energy this will bring to states along the east coast, including North
Carolina.
The pipeline also provides efficient means to transport energy resources. Throughout this lengthy process, the FERC and
other agencies have been carefully analyzing potential impacts to the land, air and water quality, wildlife and other
resources to ensure the project has adopted all necessary measures to protect the environment.
North Carolinians all rely on energy-and we benefit when energy is affordable. Energy development and infrastructure
helps keep energy affordable. However, we must expand our energy infrastructure to meet the needs of our growing
economy and population.
It is in the interests of North Carolina-and our entire nation- to advance our energy security whenever possible. The ACP
project will help move our nation a step closer to energy independence. With the ACP in place, we will have a safe, well-
researched energy option that can decrease our dependence on often hostile foreign nations.
I very much appreciate your consideration of my views. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Danny Cable
