Subject:ACP
Injustice for the poor, again. DO NOT APPROVE THIS PERMIT
Dominion states that the construction of the pipeline will lower customers’ energy costs, but this is a false. Duke and
Dominion customers will pay for the construction costs plus profit for the ACP, even if the pipeline is used at a fraction
of its full capacity. This creates a further unjustified burden for low-income residents. Dukes current rate increase will
be an average of 14.9% and not for kilowatt billing increase, this is for bailing out DUKE because their insurance
company said no.
The ACP would bring disproportionate impacts to rural, low-income and communities of color as the route proposed
runs through some of the most rural and economically depressed counties of the state, most with higher populations
of color than the state as a whole
ACP describes letters sent to state recognized tribes asking for information related to recognized historical or cultural
sites. This is not adequate tribal consultation for either state recognized tribes and completely excludes a non-
recognized entity (Tuscarora Nation) that has experienced discrimination even relative to other tribal groups.
There has been a complete marginalization of tribal concerns and sites of long-standing tribal use.
