The Consumer Energy Alliance, a front group for oil and gas interests and utilities including Dominion Energy Inc, has released a poll which it claims shows support for the Atlantic Coast Pipeline, a gas pipeline co-owned by Dominion.
The poll claims to show that a majority of voters in North Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia support the pipeline. CEA’s press release does not disclose the fact that CEA has received funding from Dominion Energy and other companies with a financial interest in seeing the Atlantic Coast Pipeline go forward.
Dominion paid CEA $8,500 in 2015, the most recent year during which it reported its political expenditures, which it started disclosing to appease shareholder concerns about the company’s political spending.
