North Carolina utilities are spending billions on methane gas infrastructure
Billions of dollars of pipelines, power plants, compressor stations and other methane gas infrastructure are at various stages of development across our state. We can rise up against this irresponsible surge of new fossil fuels that would increase electric bills while damaging public health and our land, air and water.
