How we stopped the Atlantic Coast Pipeline

Protecting North Carolina Communities

If built, the Atlantic Coast Pipeline would have carried fracked gas along a 600-mile route from West Virginia through Virginia, North Carolina and ultimately South Carolina. It would have generated 67 million metric tons of climate pollution a year — equal to 20 coal plants. It would have run through the Appalachian Trail, required 38 miles of mountaintop removal, and damaged farmland, forest, wildlife and habitats. And it would have disproportionately harmed low wealth, African American and Indigenous communities.

But, thanks to the power of grassroots activism, the Atlantic Coast Pipeline will not be built. Learn about our victorious campaign that cancelled this pipeline!
