Pipeline
 

Facts that the MVP is extremely unwarranted, a complete waste of money, resources and unmitigated risk, disaster and ruin:

  • All pipelines in existence are only 50% capacity, so new lines are not needed
  • Accident stats are horrendous and to numerous to list
  • Pipeline companies are not following environmental protection protocols
  • Water sources are completely vulnerable and already being contaminated
  • Dangerous mud and land slides are happening
  • Real-estate is being ruined and devalued at land owners and public expense ~ 300 properties stolen
  • Local farmers and our food supply at great risk 
  • Recreation tourism is impeded and our beautiful vistas won’t be so beautiful
