To whom it may concern,

Please deny the ability for the construction of the Atlantic Coast Pipeline. It will potentially harm our
environment as we've already seen with the Keystone Pipeline (https://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2016-
04-08/keystone-pipeline-leak-worse-than-thought). We don't need a pipeline running through North Carolina
that could potentially damage our environment, our health, and our community.

Society is moving towards renewable energy and building this expensive pipeline will just raise rates for the
end users (the citizens that government is meant to serve). The only stakeholders that benefit from this pipeline
are Duke and Dominion. Utilities are encouraged to build expensive projects in order to ask North Carolina
Utility Commission for rate increases. This is another ploy to increase our energy rates.

We hope that our local government will do everything in its power to stop this unnecessary pipeline in order to
protect its citizen's health, environment, and wallets.
